If a watch commander is aware of a future event that may result in civil unrest, how far in advance must they notify EOB?

The requirement for a watch commander to notify the Emergency Operations Bureau (EOB) about a potential future event leading to civil unrest is set at a minimum of 72 hours in advance. This timeframe is essential for adequate preparation and response by the EOB to ensure public safety and maintain order. By providing this advance notice, the watch commander ensures that the EOB has sufficient time to assess the situation, allocate resources, develop response strategies, and coordinate with other agencies if necessary. This proactive approach can significantly mitigate risks associated with civil unrest by allowing for a well-organized response that can help avert or diffuse potential conflicts before they escalate.
