General orders are described in the department manual. Special orders and emergency orders shall bear a title, number, date of issuance, and effective date.
Special order forms shall have an expiration date. They shall also show references to rules and regulations, or previous orders which are to be amended, supplemented, canceled or otherwise affected.
The number identification will contain the year, type designation, and order number. (Example: 08-S-14). This would indicate that this is a special order, the 14th issued in 2008. General orders are published under different format and procedures.
