14010.6.8 Subpoenas – Inability to Complete Substituted Service

• Where an immediate supervisor has accepted substituted service of a subpoena for an officer, and it is subsequently determined that delivery to the officer is not reasonably possible within time to allow the officer to comply, the immediate supervisor shall notify the server, or the server’s office (not less than 48 hours prior to the hearing date specified on the subpoena) that service can not be completed. No legal penalty shall arise in connection with compliance with this procedure. First, however, all reasonable attempts to complete service shall have been made.
