Sniffer notification

Good Folks, A quick question on policy documents, if you will. We're about to diagnose some networking issues here with rather aggressive use of Sniffer on student ports. We've always considered this to be pretty intrusive, and not to be done without notifying the users involved that we would be listening in. But we don't have written policies concerning this action, beyond the general statement that we (1) respect users privacy but (2) reserve the right to sniff should the need strike us. Anyone have a quick link to policies and notification documents to be sent to the user that I might have a look at and/or steal outright? I worry that there's something I might overlook in the process.
