Two-Day Operation Plan Version Record

PROBLEM: The Clovis operation ran for two days — a Friday and a Saturday — across a whole city, with nine arrests, one pursuit, one collision, and one suspect still at large. A two-day operation's plan changes between day one and day two: what worked Friday shapes Saturday. Without versioned copies of the plan, the second day runs on memory and the lessons of the first day are lost.

SOLUTION: A two-day operation plan version record: every operation's plan preserved as a governed copy per day, with what changed between versions and why — so the second day starts from the first day's record, and the next operation starts from both.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — The Clovis operation ran October 16–17, 2026 (Friday and Saturday), across Clovis; nine suspects were arrested and one remains at large (Clovis Police Department release via CSLEA, Oct 20, 2026).
