A. INTRODUCTION

1. = POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

By prior agreement of t= he City of Kenova, The Towns of Ceredo and Wayne, and by Wayne County, the initial response to an emergency will be made by on‑duty officers to the location, regardless of jurisdictional locale.

Officers initially assigned outside their jurisdiction will be promptly relieved as = soon as officers within that jurisdiction become available.

First response locations will be assigned by the Wayne County E‑911 Emergen= cy Center, based on available on‑duty officers (or other personnel) regardless of agency. It will be the responsibility of the senior law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction in which the emergency occurs to relieve all outside agency officers as soon as possible.<= /p>

2. &n= bsp; ZONE DESCRIPTIONS

Wayne County is broken = into five (5) Zones, (Numbers 12 through 16) based upon major roads (see Map). E= ach Zone is broken into areas, where logical based upon population centers and = Fire Districts, as well as major sites such as the Tri‑State Airport.

The five Zones roughly divide the County into four (4) large quadrants and one = (1) smaller area encompassing populated area in the Northern part of Wayne Coun= ty (bounded by WV 75). Zones 13 and 14, in the Northeast and Southeast section= s of the County are relatively unpopulated and represent a low hazard potential area. Zones 15 and 16, in the Northwest and Southwest sections of Wayne Cou= nty, including the Big Sandy River/Norfolk Southern Railroad/US 52 corridor, represent higher hazard potential areas, but relatively low population. Zone 12, encompassing the Northern area of Wayne County and a small part of the = Big Sandy/Norfolk Southern corridors, represents both a higher hazard potential area and higher population. Zone 12 also includes Interstate 64.=
