This form includes sections to identify the loss and a Release of Liability to be signed by the claimant. Departmental employees are encouraged to assist the claimant in completing the form to ensure that all applicable information is included. Property damage claims should normally include two estimates for repair/replacement of damaged items. A departmental employee should witness the claimant’s signature and put their name in the adjoining WITNESS box.
(2) The Area commander or designee shall determine if the claim fits the criteria for the Expedited Claim Settlement Process (ECSP) as described in paragraph c below. Claims meeting this criteria may be processed in the manner described.

(6) The foregoing procedures do not apply to departmental employee claims. Employees must file claims directly with the VCGCB, using the Board’s claim form.
c. Expedited Claim Settlement Program. To improve service to the public, it is in the best interest of the Department to swiftly mitigate claims in those instances in which we are clearly liable for damages. This program is designed to provide timely payment to those individuals who have suffered damages as a result of our actions. The Area commander will have the authority to approve claims submitted under this program. Examples of situations where this policy may be applicable are instances where:

persons we encounter. Examples would include losing a driver’s license, breaking a person’s watch during handcuffing, losing personal property we had a duty to care for, etc.
(3) The foregoing types of incidents are not all inclusive. Accordingly, sound professional judgment is to be used to determine if a claim could potentially be eligible for expedited settlement. In those instances where there may be a question of liability, the Risk Management Staff Counsel may be consulted for advice.

The Area commander or designee shall confirm that the CHP 287 is properly completed and the release of liability form has been signed.

ORM will notify the Fiscal Management Section (FMS) who will

Once the Area has received the check, it shall be delivered to the claimant as soon as practical but in no case later than 24 hours after receipt. In addition, the Area shall forward the original CHP 287, Claims Of $1,000 Or Less, Std. 204, Payee Data Record, and a CHP 268, Potential Civil Litigation Report, through channels, to ORM within 48 hours.
