0:07 - 0:56
All right, good morning everybody.Good morning and welcome to our first lesson to prepare everybody in the room to become a sergeant.Hopefully, you're all going to knock a dead after this course.All right, I just want to go over some housekeeping rules before we get into any type of material.My name is George Mson.been teaching with the Keys for almost God 20 years.It's like another career.I'm a retired captain.I did 25 years with the NYPD.I love what I do.Otherwise, I would not be doing this.I could be smoking weed every weekend and and just chilling, right, with my kids.Not smoking with my kids, but just chilling.But no, I love what I do.I want to help everybody get promoted.It's one of the best feelings when I go back to promotions or go to meetings and I have people come up to me and say, "Thank you.
You helped me get promoted."It really is a a great feeling and that's what I'm going to do for all of you in the room and for everybody who is going to be watching this at a later date.So, this location has a lot of funerals from time to time.We actually have a mask going on upstairs for a family member of the Vigos.Most of you in the room are young.Somebody older ones may know.Viganos, two brothers, one was FD, one was our job.Both died on 911.I think it's their grandmother who passed and having a funeral for her upstairs now.All right.So, it's it's a family member of 9/11.So, when we go up when we have breaks, let's be orderly and quiet up in the parking lots.Don't go that way.Go through that door.Okay?That door back, depending on which way you're looking on my left, back in the corner, is the entrance we will use to come to class every Saturday morning.
The parking lot, don't use that parking lot.There's a tremendous parking lot that way, right?Facing White Castles.Use that parking lot and just walk around and come on in that way cuz we have to leave room for for the people that are coming to church and and masses.All right.We will be here every not every Sunday.Schedules are going out and ready.We're trying to do every other week.All right.9:30.We usually start at 9:40.I go like 40 minutes and I give you a break.Studies show after 40 minutes you need a break.All right?You're not you're not listening.You're not retaining.Okay?That's the way I run my class.For those that don't know me or have have not heard about me, at times I can say some I don't consider it disrespectful, but I say things that you're going to look at me and say, "This guy's nuts."
I say what I say because it will help you on test day.I come up with some crazy things that come out of my mouth.And it's no disrespect to anybody that's in the room or like I I break on civilians.I do what I do because it will help you on test day.You all heard worse out in the street unless you've been sheltered and you live you're working in an office since you uh graduated the academy.So, it's nothing you have not heard, but you will hear some vulgar words coming out of my mouth.All right.I don't know how many of you have taken a sergeant exam before.Hopefully, it's all your first exam.You have to really really want it.It's It's not a hard exam.The patrol guide that you we're going to be going through is boring 100% boring Okay?
Commit to it.I do this every time I start a class.You need to go all in 100%.I don't want to see you sitting here again in three years for a sergeant exam.I want to see you for a lieutenant exam.Give it all you got.Do it right the first time.Don't waste your time.All right.I waited 10 years and I took my first sergeant exam and I banged it out.I was number three.I was studying for lieutenant as a cop because I knew I did so well on a sergeant.I went from cop detective to captain in eight years.The test was lined up back then when I was taking him.You could do the same.And I'm going to mention this now.You don't want to just be a sergeant.You want to be a lieutenant.White, first of all, white shirts look nice, especially if you have a tan, right?
But that is the rank to have because you got some SGE, come here.I used to do it all the time.Especially the sergeants you don't like.You got something that you don't know what you're going to do.Cap, I need I need help.You're like the middleman and you just pass it off left or right.Lieutenant is definitely the rank.That's what you used to have in mind.This sergeant is a stepping stone to get to lieutenant.And something that I would have in my mind if I was sitting in your seat, there's a possibility if you acceed this sergeant exam, you could take the Feb, the 2027 lieutenant exam.Your exam is February.Could it be January?Maybe.Could it be March?Maybe.We were told by good sources it is February.They're trying to lock in the Javit Center.That's what you're looking at.
All right.You bang that out.when you're done with your exam, you know you passed.So, if you see you got high 90s, most likely you're going to get promoted if you have no issues in the first or second group and then you'll be able to probably take the lieutenant exam that's coming atthe end of 2027.That's what should be in the back of your mind as you go through this stuff week after week cuz you're going to say to yourself, "This sucks.It sucks and I want to drop out."Don't do it.You need to stick something in your head and keep it there throughout the next whatever months we have till uh till your exam because you need the motivation to keep you going.I it is great to get promoted.There are many reasons to get promoted.I'm sure everybody in the room here is tier three.
If there's one or two tier two people in here, you're the exception.You need to move up, get rank to help your pension in the long run.That's number one.You get promoted, you just gave yourself a raise.I never hit top pay in any rank because I got promoted so quick.That's what you should be thinking.I'm not waiting for people to sell contracts.Let me just get promoted and give myself a raise.It's in your hands.All right.You get promoted, you don't have to be on that foot post no more.Now you be a supervisor giving out the shitty jobs, sitting in hospitalized prisoners, strip search and perks.It's it's a better job, better quality life the higher up you go.All right.Walking across that stage is a great feeling that you will never forget.Especially if you have family and friends watching you.
It's it's a great accomplishment.Many reasons why you should get promoted.Don't answer but you should answer in your head.Why do I want to be a sergeant?Keep that in your head till your exam because I guarantee you are going to hit roadblocks.Guarantee.We start every class packed like it is now.Four or five weeks, it's going to dwindle.You're going to see people just start dwindling whether they gave up or they want to just watch online.But a lot of people give up because it's it's it's a challenging exam.I'm not going to you.But if you follow what we tell you, you are going to do well.So whatever your motivational reason is, keep it in your head.Treat this like a marathon.All right.Patrol Guide is about 2200 pages long.That's one reason why we don't give you a hard copy patrol guide.
We don't need you lugging that around.There are people that just studied our lesson plans that aced the exam.Our lesson plans throughout the whole course is about 1,100.So we cut it in half of what you really need to know for your exam.My suggestion is before you come to class, now it's it's week one, but let's say week two, you read what we're covering in week two from the patrol guide.It's going to be in cops.You have it on your department phone.Read what we're going to be covering.You should read the patrol guide.Me, cuz I was anal one time.Yes, you could do well just with our lesson plans.That's your choice.All right.just so you can get the verbiage down and you're gonna see how boring that material is.So you read what we're going to cover.So next week, not next week, but the next class because we're going to go every other week.
We're covering general regs.

2. Study Materials and Course Schedule

He explains how to use the patrol guide, lesson plans, and the cop system resources to prepare effectively. He also outlines the weekly class schedule and how students should review material between sessions.

Read that section of the book, the admin guide that goes with the class.So you get an understanding.And then when we come to class, we go over the lesson plan.And our lesson plan makes it more digestible for you guys and girls to retain the material.2,000 pages for a 100 question exam coming at you in February.Multiple choice.It I'm telling you, it's not hard.If you stick with the process, look around your command easily.You can name seven sergeants who should not be a sergeant.You say to yourself, "How the hell did that person pass?"And and I every rank it's the same Lieutenants, captains, like you see some of these captains speak on the news media and chief's like, "Dude, do you even learn English?"Like, I don't get it.It's not hard.It's multiplechoice.Okay?And A, B, C, and D always going to be able to knock out two choices.
And it comes down to the other two choices.You could, if you really want it, you are going to do it.Stick with it.Don't give up.We are here to help you.All right.You all know about the QR code.Obviously, please have that handy to scan in every class.The COP system is going to have this video.They're going to make this into an audio for you.All right.The key app, people are getting confused.I don't see it on the iTunes or Google Play Store.It's not one of those app apps.It's an it's a a a program that goes directly to a private server because we have so much information.You can't just get a regular app.It won't be able to handle that.All right.So, but it functions as a phone app.Key app cops on your desktop or laptop is the same setup.
You will have everything in there.the class lessons, class audio, class video, the the the actual PDFs, the patrol guide, the admin guide, acronyms.There's a ton of resources in that cop system for you.Use what we give you.We give you just what you need.We don't give you extra or extra fluff to make you feel overwhelmed.All right?We we're the longest school running school.We've been doing this a long time.We know what we're doing.And out of all the schools and all the teachers, there's only one person that ever actually wrote a prior exam.So, we know how it works and that's me.It's you.You're getting the best you can get.We are a team here.You're going to get everything you need to pass the test.If you don't pass it, that means you didn't do your part.Study-wise, you should be studying.
What I did for every exam, I studied every day, only two hours.That's it.I was number three out of 10,000 people on my sergeant exam during 911.Number three.And all I did was study two hours every day.And I mean every day.Cuz as you go through lessons, you need to back up and review prior lessons because if you don't, you're going to forget all that That was my study tactic plan.Two hours a day.Should you do study groups?I I don't like study groups because study group turns into a hangout and are you really studying yet maybe you're for a few minutes what I suggest you do if you have friends who want to do a studygroup just make questions like you write five questions from desk officer you write five you write five between the three or four of you you're going to come up with 20 questions from desk officer you are going to
know that procedure in and out when you try to write a question about a procedure you're actually retaining that material that's what I suggest you do instead of the study groups where you go wherever you go library fromthere you go to some lounge and you're having hookah and class a zoo shots it's there that just leads to nonsense and a waste of time do that after you get promoted all right so please stick with theprogram moneywise you guys I think make without overtime $126,000 top pay sergeants you're at 136 I told you you don't want to be a sergeant you want to be a lieutenant Lieutenants, you're at 176.Now, captains, craziest jump ever.Captains are at 234.That's a $57,000 raise above lieutenant.Yeah, it's a it's it's a tough rank in the beginning.I loved it, but it is great money when you retire.
You need to think about what you're going to do for your career.I this is not a pension se seminar, but set yourself up for when you retire so you do not have to work.First step is to pass this exam in February.All right.If you look at your lesson plan, the first page, the first actually 26 pages is all about study tactics.It's easy stuff, right?I'm not going to go through that.John Monahan, the owner, one of the owners from the school, is doing a lesson on the study tactics tomorrow at the Rockland County Sergeants Class.That lesson will be recorded.It's going to be like a half hour on your first 27 26 pages and that will be uploaded into the cop system.So, but before you watch his video, you should read the first 26 pages.I'm not going to teach you I'm not going to read through these study tactics that are there, right?
I will go through my tactics as we go through some of the lesson plans because everybody has different tactics.I highly suggest if it works out for your schedule to try and attend a Wednesday class.You you guys and girls can go to every single class all week.I don't recommend that obviously, but the Wednesday class is being taught by retired inspector Anthony Russo.I thought I was smart.That guy was number five on his sergeants, one on lieutenant, one on captain.I don't know how he did it.Captain was my worst exam because it's two books to study.But I would try and attend one of his classes to see what he did to prepare for all all his exams.His classes are on Wednesday in Brooklyn.If it works out, great.If you can't do it, then you can't do it.Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening.
All right.You all should have got emails with the schedule, the syllabus.It's all going to it's all on the website.Hopefully, you could you could find it there.Right.We've been getting emails and IG messages.I don't know where to go today.I don't know where to go today.I don't know where can I go.Can I go to the Bronx today?Our our week starts today on a Saturday.That's day one.On Saturday, we're here in Suffach County.Tomorrow we are teaching two classes simultaneously.Upstate in Rockland taught by Ralph Sento and then in Staten Island taught by retired Chief Vega.On Monday, we are in Nassau, Queens, Florida.Morning and evening classes, both taught by me.Tuesday, we're in the Bronx.Morning and evening, both taught by me.Wednesday, I already told you, is Anthony Russo in Brooklyn.And then our last class for the week is Thursday evening only at the high school right next to headquarters, Murray Bertram High School, taught by Frank Vega.
The class is the same material from Saturday, day one to the last class on Thursday.Then we take off Friday and then we resume on Saturday with the next lesson.Please pay attention to the schedule.Most of the time we are one week on, one week off.And I love it because that week off doesn't mean you don't do nothing.That week off is review what we covered in the past and then get ready for the next class.Please look at the syllabus so you don't come here next Saturday sitting here and like where is everybody?Hopefully none of you are going to do that.All right, but it always happens one class people don't listen to what I'm saying or read the email and they just do whatever they want to do because they think that was the right thing to do because they
didn't follow a simple email.So like I said, we are going to skip the tactics.You're going to get that video by John Monahan.So go to page 27.

3. Actors in Procedure 202 Overview

The lesson begins with Procedure 202 and explains the duties and responsibilities of actors covered on the sergeant exam. He stresses separating real-world practice from test-day answers and highlights key wording traps.

Just show our hands.How many people in the room actually read 202 before?All right.Some some of you did.So 202, we start with the patrol guy.We teach it in order.It's the patrol guide is made in that order for a reason.All right.We start in order.202 is basically all the actors that you're going to be responsible for, the duties and responsibilities of the actors.There's nine sergeants that you need to know.Those are the main ones cuz you're studying to be a sergeant.And then there are 20 nons supervisory ranks from police officer, police attendant, operator, recorder that we're going to go through.That's what 202 is, just learning their duties and responsibilities.And you're going to be surprised when you read some of this Oh, that's what I'm supposed to do.Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do on book day.
Which brings me to this point.Whatever you do on a daily basis, when it comes time for test day, forget it.Reality and test day, two different worlds.All right?You have to separate that.Now, the book is one thing and then what we do in the street to get the job done and go home at the end of the day is another thing.All right?So, separate the two worlds.So, we're going to start off with 2021, police officer duties.And yes, this is what you're supposed to be familiar with and do on a daily basis.All right?So, start with that little banner on the right.You're supposed to use your digital activity log.All right?But preserve completed old books and produce as required.Some of you may have had, depending on the time on a job, have the old books.All right?
Maybe you haven't.You just went, you came on and you were straight into digital, whatever the scenario is.So go to the left now to the bullets.Perform duty in uniform as per the roll call or as directed by a competent authority.Who is that?On test day, they will make sure you understand if they're me talking about Sergeant Miffs, they will make sure you understand he is a competent authority.Proceed to post sector or assignment as directed by a supervisor.Comply with meal and post relieving points as directed by CO.Do not congreate or engage in unnecessary conversation with other MOS while on post absent police necessity.Now, those first three bullets sound easy, but you got to get the wordings down.Like the first one, all right, perform duty in uniform as per roll call or competent authority.The second one with post sector or assignment is supervisor.
The most important one that actually indicates who it is is the next one, the CO.All right.Comply with meal and post relieving points as directed by your CO.Now, I was a big highlighting guy when I studied.Like even when I prepare for class, if you look at my book, I have yellow highlight, I have red ink, I have blue ink, and I have green ink.That's just me.I do things so I can help me retain it.All right?I would defin if I tell you to highlight something I mean I hope you would highlight something like as directed by the co I would highlight that part.All right.All right.Regarding the job radio, you're supposed to monitor the portable radio.If your assigned radio is defective, it says obtain a radio from a desk officer.Regarding your meal, comply with meal and post relieving points as directed by CO.
There it is again indicating a specific supervisor as directed by CO.In reality, who's giving you meal?It's either the patrol sergeant or the desk officer.Again, forget reality.Don't leave your postal sector until meal actually commences.Yes, there is no such thing on test day as travel time.All right, you have a 1,200 meal.That's what time your meal starts.1,200.All right.Be back on your post when meal ends.1300.You're supposed to be back on post.You're supposed to be aware of and inspect your poster sector for conditions requiring police attention.Render all necessary police service in your assigned area and as otherwise directed.Familiarize yourself with the everyday routine of people residing, doing business, or frequenting your post or sector.Investigate suspicious conditions and circumstances on your post.Give attention to crime hazards.Notificationwise, you come across an unusual crime, an unusual occurrence, or a condition, you ought to report immediately to who?
Patrol supervisor and platoon commander.That's a great test question right there.So, if you look at that, we have the word and in uppercase and bold for a reason.Tricky questions.You're not going to see it all the time.What they will do they will switch the and to or and that makes that statement incorrect.There are certain words start getting used to now when you see it in the book and or must always never.Sometimes those words will kill you on test day.Now you're not you're not going to get a 100 questions where they're around with and ors and all that.You may get two or three because that's going to separate people on the list.All right.All right.Conditions not requiring immediate attention.You tell the TS.When you enter or leave the station house, the PSA or district during your tour, report to the desk officer indicating the reason for your presence therein.
When dispatched by the TSOP, you have to keep the TS OP informed of the police service that you rendered.If you render police service in another precinct, report to the desk officer of that precinct.If detained at court and you're unable to return to the command at end of tour, notify the desk officer.Now, if you look to the little box on the right where it says 2123.If you're on assignment requiring relief, notify the desk officer one hour prior to end of tour.It makes sense because the desk has to arrange relief.So here is the first thing first little not disc I would say discrepancy where you in one procedure it tells you to do x y and z and as you see here in another procedure down the road ittells you to do a little something all right and we point that out for you okay that's why it's in that box when you see a test question on test day that asks something and you know it sounds
familiar In more than one procedure, what they do is in the stem of the question, they will say as per patrol guide procedure 20201.So now you know you have to answer it according to police officer because they they know there's an issue with that down the road.Hopefully it doesn't happen.They don't do it intentionally or they don't do it by accident.But we will point out anytime a procedure tells you to do something differently down according to another procedure.So that's it for police officer R&P operator duties.

4. Operator Duties and Vehicle Rules

This section covers operator responsibilities, including seat belts, vehicle inspections, maintenance, and when the car can be taken out of service. He also introduces acronyms and study tactics for remembering lists and numbers.

While assigned as the driver for a boss, you will operate the car for the entire tour unless you can't drive.And some of you for sure in this room can't drive.And don't take it personally.A lot of us, not me, got our license to just to get on a job.I know for sure.I remember I was a sergeant and I gra, one of my good friends was in my command and I grabbed him to drive within the first three minutes.I said, "Pull the car over."And I started driving cuz he just couldn't drive.And I was if if we're going to get into an accident, let it be my fault, not your fault.All right.So, when the supervisor is out of the car, monitor the radio messages directed to your assigned area.Seat belts.Pay attention to this.This is what the operator does.
You will inspect and notify the patrol supervisor of any deficiency.I would highlight that cuz when we talk about the recorder, it's going to be a little different.So, operator, you come across a deficiency in the seat belt, whatever that deficiency is, you are telling the patrol supervisor.Slide to the box on the right.Ballistic window inserts and wedges.the operator.You inspect the window inserts and the wedges.If the vehicle is equipped with them, make sure they're properly installed and not damaged.And again, any deficiencies, immediately, tell the patrol sergeant.At least they keep that the same.Problems with the seat belts, tell the patrol sergeant.Problem with the window inserts or wedges, tell the patrol sergeant.What's the rule for wearing seat belts?Basically, everybody, whether you are the operator, recorder, passenger, you're in a van, unmarked, doesn't matter.Everybody has to wear their seat belts.
Easy rule to remember.When can you take the seatelt off?That's what I would remember.So, the last bullet under this wearing seat belt section, remove your seatelt only when involved in what appears to be a dangerous dangerous tactical situation where the belt may impair your ability to take police action.So, that's when you can take your seatelt off.All right, you're on patrol and you see a guy you think may be carrying a gun and you want to jump out on him.Obviously, those seat belts can be off way in advance.All right, and actually that seat belts used to be a big deal.I was the CEO of Brooklyn North Anti-Rime when it was around and all we'd had to do was go out and get guns and all we had to do, but that was what we we love to do.And inspections were started to break my guys' balls about the seat belts.
I called the captain up and I said, "Dude, my guys are doing police work.How do you expect them to keep his seatelt on and then jump out on a guy with a gun?Leave them the alone.You got a problem?Come see me and we'll talk it out."All right, that's when the seat belts come off.When you are going to take police action on test day regarding inspecting the car, the operator will inspect the car when reporting for duty.There's a whole procedure in 21901 regarding that.All right.And you will make a digital activity log entry of your finding.And here we call it the fog.Findings odometer reading gas in the tank.So this leads me to a study tactic.Acronyms.Acronyms are big.We're going to give you acronyms, but you may come up with your own acronyms.Basically, an acronym you can make up when you have a list of things.
Super important.If you have a confusing list or if I tell you this list is important and there's an acronym, use it.If there's not an acronym, make one up.With Chat GBT, you could come up with all kinds of fancy I'm telling you, acronyms help me out big time.So, when you sit down to take your test in February, they're going to give you scrap paper.When the bell rings, you're you should write down some important acronyms.That's what I did.I made a list of acronyms and when I would start studying my two hours every day, the first few minutes were acronyms.I would look at the material and I would write it out.Look at it.Write it out.Eventually, what happened?I didn't need to look at it anymore.It was here and I wrote it out.True story.On my one of my exams, probably lieutenant or so, I don't know, one, not definitely not captain.
The bell rang and on my scrap paper front and back, I filled it up with acronyms within like four minutes.And what happens?One of these proctors the city hires who can't even hear or see, comes over to me and says, "Where'd you get that paper from?"I said, "It's the one you gave me when I came in the room."And they're like, "No, no, no.We gave you a blank paper.I Yeah, I know you gave me a blank paper, but I wrote the acronyms down there.""No, no, no.You cheated."I said, "Listen, get back.You're when you take the test, I going to be IB supervisors will be in the hallway."Brought them in and I'm like, showed them this I just wrote.Give me another paper and I'll write it for you.Point being, acronyms help big time because you're going to get a question and it's going to involve an acronym.
It's going to happen.instead of having to pull the information from your head.It's already there on your scrap paper.Now, don't make an acronym for every little thing.All right?Where you have 80 acronyms or 90 acronyms.That's crazy.But something important that I will tell you I would make an acronym.Acronyms will we also have a list in cops aka the key app of acronyms.All right.That we came up with.Use them or make your own.You make your own, you'll never forget it.So when you inspect the car, the acronym is fog.All right.Operating the vehicle.Operate the RMP only when assigned and qualified to operate such vehicle.Operate the car in a manner to avoid injury to people or damage to property.We are supposed to drive at a slow rate of speed except under exceptional circumstances or extreme emergency and make sure we follow the rules in the New York State PTO.
Constantly patrol your assigned sector.Avoid remaining in areas where radio reception is poor.Permit only performing police related duty to ride in an RMP on patrol.And when you're transporting non MOS, be extremely vigilant and adhere to the VTL except in an emergency.Do not unnecessarily leave your car unattended.When answering a job, make sure you remove the keys and lock the vehicle.Next little bullets highlight it because it's going to be a little different when we talk about the recorder.The operator is allowed to take the car out of a signed sector three times.Directed by competent authority, answering an emergency call, servicing, repairing or cleaning as required with permission of who?The desk officer.Respond to messages of police serious police emergency within five blocks of the location.Even if the message is directed to another car, look what it says.Regardless of your sector, I'm good with that.
Precinct, I'm good with that.Burrow boundary.So, you can go into another burrow if it's within the five blocks.Now, that's the first time you're seeing a number.Numbers are big.This is easy.Five blocks.And I'm going to point it out every time we have a number is that's why it's bold and underlined numbers.So I want you when you have time just try to write test questions not now as you study.Not easy to write test questions that make sense and won't have problems but if you have numbers it's so easy 30 days the answer is 30 days they can make the other choices 60 90 180 because those appearin the patrol guide.So when you see numbers highlight it circle it do whatever easy questions to write.Okay.Go to an emergency with due caution.Do not use the siren unnecessarily.
Approach the scene of a reported crime quietly.Position the car at the scene of emergency to avoid obstructing or being blocked by emergency apparatus before you turn the page in the box.Electric blasting caps.I've never seen them, but it's in the book.All right.What does it say?Do not carry electric blasting caps in a vehicle.That's one rule.Don't have them in your car or transmit within 150 feet of any electric blasting operation.There it is.Another number.Okay.Again, what is an electro blasting cap?Who cares?Just know the rules.And by the way, it's in the book cuz some ass must have carried an electric blasting cap in the R&P.This book keeps getting bigger and bigger because we do stupid while we're working.And that's what they do.Let's make a new patrol guy procedure to address what this guy just shot at seagulls in Rockaway Beach or some All right, this is what happens.
And hopefully you're not the guy who shot at seagulls in here.If you are, that was pretty stupid.Anyway, all right.Next page.

5. Recorder Duties and Transport Procedures

The instructor explains recorder responsibilities, including radio logs, notifications, and transporting non-MOS passengers. He also reviews key differences between operator and recorder duties and introduces another acronym-based memory aid.

Still on the operator duties.When the R&P is being cleaned or supplied with fuel, leave your radio on.Have the car ready for instant use.If fuel is to be obtained in your assigned command, do not put the car out of service.Don't leave your portable radio in the car.Now, look, operators are supposed to kind of maintain the vehicle.Take care of the car and accessories, equipment, and tools assigned.Cooperate with other operators of the same car to which assigned in care and maintenance, particularly keeping it clean, washing and keeping the car in proper operating condition.That's a joke because the RMPs are a wreck.All right.Make So they want the operator to make minor repairs to the car when possible.I I don't know what they mean by minor repairs, but they will have to use that wording on test day.All right.
Like I said, some people can't drive.Now you want them to fix the car.Yes, that's what it says in the patrol guide.Make minor repairs when a speedometer requires repair or other parts or accessories, including tires and tubes.Easy test question.Who do you notify?Desk officer or is it the patrol sergeant?Or is it the operations coordinator?This is where you have to really drill down and get it because these are the easy questions.It's easy questions for those guys and girls that are going to write your exam.All right.regarding preventive maintenance when it gets its oil changes and etc.The operator is supposed to enter the appointment for preventive maintenance on the sticker or fix to the vehicle.Deliver the car for regular preventive maintenance inspection as scheduled on a sticker and a fix to the vehicle.Now, in reality, we probably have a car guy in the precinct who doesn't exist or she doesn't exist in the book.
This is the operator's job on test day.All right, last thing before we go into the next actor, the box on the top right.R&P pushing or towing cars.Do not.There's those words like must always do not tow or push another vehicle with the RMP.This includes pushing another RMP.No good on test day.All right.Exception.Now, only highway vehicle can push or tow.and then only in the following circumstances.The vehicle has to be blocking an active traffic lane.That's the first prong that has to be met.Then highway has to be equipped with the protective bumper guard and they can push the vehicle where to the nearest location where it can be parked safely.They cannot push or tow on private property or to a repair shop.in that box a lot of easy information to write a question if they wanted to go to that.
All right, next actor recorder.You're going to write in the front seat of the R&P except when you're transporting a per or an EDP.Then it tells you get into the back.But most of your R&Ps obviously should have the partition.So then you don't have to get in the back.You can stay in the front.All right.Seat belts.You will assist the operator in inspecting.Now here you go.Look at what the recorder does.You come across a deficiency, you inform the operator and notify the patrol supervisor.I find that very odd.I'm good with telling the patrol sergeant, the boss, I find it odd that we have a cop notifying another cop.All right.So, operator, you got a problem with the seat belts deficiencies, you tell the patrol sergeant.a quarter you come across defic deficiencies.You also tell the patrol sergeant and you tell the operator.
Don't let them confuse you with the two procedures.Then it talks about seat belts.It's the same rules as the operator.I'm not going to read them again.Same exact word for word rules as the operator.Top of the next page.The recorder will record in their digital activity log radio messages directed to R&P including time, location of call, type of case, and enter dispo of each call and time of completion.Assignments originating in the house or other important assignments of unusual nature, you notify the desk officer of the dispo.All assignments that don't emanate from central, you have to notify central.Give the location and nature of assignment.And if undue delay is encountered in response to a radio message, you will notify radio reports.That's the op uh recorder's job, right?Prepare necessary reports.Records connected with police action taken jointly with the operator.
Radio rules for the recorder.Operate the radio.If the radio becomes inoperative, notify the desk officer.give disposition or interm dispo immediately upon completion and before leaving the scene of assignment.Yes, we handle a job where whatever it is.I'm just going to make it one two three and parking up into 23.Yes, it's the two three.We handle a job.We take a 61.What's what final is that?Don't answer.And if you because I don't want to hear the wrong answer, right?So, we know the final.You need to give that final before you drive away.Don't just go on patrol and, you know, kill more time because everybody thinks you're still on that job.If you do that, and now we're not we're not covering discipline yet, but if you do that, you will be issued command discipline.I'm not even going to get into it, but I just want you to have a little bit of that in your head.
All right?If required to go to another location in connection with your assignment, give an interno.Here is the difference of what we said earlier that I told you to highlight.The recorder will obtain permission from radio dispatcher to place the RMP out of service for minor repairs.Now, in the box, we compare the operator and recorder taking the car out of service for what and whose permission.These boxes you're going to see quite often in the lesson plans.We compare different procedures or we compare information in the same procedure.very valuable to get the information in your head.Don't sleep on the boxes.All right.Under the box.So, the recorder is supposed to carry a duplicate seat, a duplicate set of keys for the vehicle assigned to uh during the tour of duty.A duplicate set.I'm sure it's still a mess where sometimes you can't even find the original set of keys hanging behind the desk.
People make their own copy so they keep it in their locker.Uh test day operator recorder have the same set of key.Not the same.They both have keys for the RMP.All right.Transporting a non MOS in the car.Notify radio of the presence of the non MOS.That could be a per complainant.gives central the following.Time they entered the R&P, gender and beginning mileage, time they exited the R&P, ending mileage upon arrival at destination, and upon conclusion of the trip, search the passenger area for contraband.And then you will make a digital activity log entry of that transport.And here is another acronym we have.So your activity log entry will contain the trips time the trip start results of your search inspection identity of the person purpose or reason of the trip and start and ending locations.We have another chart for you right there.
Look at that on your own.All right, let's go to actually let's take our first break.

6. Motor Scooter and NST Duties

He covers motor scooter operator rules, retraining requirements, weather restrictions, and the differences between two-wheel and three-wheel scooters. The lesson then shifts to Neighborhood Safety Team duties, including deployment, staffing limits, and crime-reduction responsibilities.

Somebody had a good question on the break.In 202, you are only responsible for sergeant actors and below.Don't read any of the lieutenants, any of the chiefs.Obviously, if you read the Well, I'm not going to I'm not going to say nothing right now.If so, sergeants and below, no lieutenants, no chiefs.All right.Now, it's it's a little situated um differently in the patrol guide because it starts with cops, then it goes to sergeant, then it goes to lieutenant, captain, and then at the end of 202 in the patrol guide, theyadded new uh sergeants in there, the CRT, supervisor, CRT, and cop.It's at the end of the procedure.So, sergeants and below only for your exam.All right.All right.So, we're going to be at 20204.Motor scooter operator.For some reason, they like this procedure.Okay.You will inspect the scooter to ensure it's in serviceable condition.
Make a digital activity log entry of the following.We're on page 31.By the way, it's the same.The fog.All right.Findings odometer and gas.Scooter retraining.So, you need to know this.You have to get scooter retrained in the following three scenarios.You were involved in a scooter collision, can't use the scooter till you get retrained, or you have not operated in six months and you're being considered for assignment to scooter duty.Or you've been zipping around for a year and you haven't gone to refresher course.Good test question right there.Look at the next line.If you're assigned a scooter, you are not allowed to respond to a radio run unless directed by Central.That's what the book says.In reality, you know you're going to a radio run.All right.Well, maybe not.You don't want to do work if you're one of those.
All right.But test day, only go if Central assigns you.And then look at the star.Five block rule does not apply.Now you remember the five block five block rule.We just covered it.It's on page 28.You can respond to emergency within five blocks regardless of precinct, burough boundaries, sector, etc.Okay.You will operate the scooter only when assigned, licensed, and qualified by the job.Next three bullets, always headlights on at all times.Not allowed to pursue a motor vehicle in a scooter.and you cannot be assigned on an expressway or a parkway.No exceptions to those three rules.You will operate the scooter at a slow, safe rate of speed.Three-wheel scooter, the max is 20 m an hour.You ought to obey traffic control devices.Three-wheelers can use the siren and roof lights when necessary.Check road conditions of your post.
Make a digital activity log entry immediately upon arrival on post.And when assignment is hazardous for whatever reason, request reassignment.And you're going to see when we get into the sergeant actors, look what it says for patrol supervisor right there in the box.Bad weather, the patrol supervisor will send the scooter operator to the desk officer or platoon commander for reassignment.Don't use the scooter.It says if we got patches of snow or ice that remain from a previous storm or high winds interfere with control.Don't use the scooter if we have rain, snow, sleep, heavy fog, or any precipitation causes slippery ground.But three-wheelers may be operated in moderate rain or fog.Now, two and three-wheel have different rules.We're going to cover, we're going to compare them in a minute.Don't use the scooter when the temp falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.Here we go with numbers below 32 degrees.
And what they will do on test day is they will say in the stem of the question it is exactly 32 degrees.So when it comes to numbers knowing the number that is in the book is half the battle.You you got to be careful.Is it more than five?Is it less than five?But I'm just making that up.But that's what you have to pay attention to.All right.So again don't use the scooter if the temp falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.means it has to be 31 or less or if we're talking about Celsius because that's in this procedure.All right, has to be less than 0 degrees Celsius which is -1 Celsius but three-wheelers may be used below 32°.So there's the exception for the three-wheeler uniform and equipment for scooter helmets two and three-wheel must use the helmet.Yes, must use the helmet.
Now, in reality, you're in that three-wheel box.You're not using the helmet.Okay?But on test day, you must face shields.Two wheelers must use the face shield.Three-wheel is optional.And reflective traffic safety vest during hours of darkness.Both two and three-wheel scooter operators must wear the reflective traffic safety vest.All right.top of the next page is a great chart that compares the rules for two wheel scooters verse three-wheel scooters.They're very similar, but I want to point out the ones that are different.There are four rules that are different.Eight are the same rule that applies to both scooters.Four of them are different.So, go down six lines.Moderate rain or fog.Two wheel scooter, no good.Three-wheel, yes.Next one.Below 32°.Two-wheeler, no good.Three-wheeler, yes.Over 20 mph.Two wheel scooter, yes.Three-wheeler, no.And then the last row, face shield.
Two wheel scooter, yes.Three-wheel, optional.Go through the whole chart, but definitely highlight the ones that are different.The rest of them are all the same.All right.All right.Next actor, neighborhood safety team officer, NST.You will perform duty and specifically prescribed uniform with all equipment required as per AG30508, including an activity log.Must be NST trained before you're an NST.Highlight the next two for sure.No plane close and no decoy operations.So this used to be they're almost the duties are almost the same when we had anti-rime.It used to say anti-rime officer.This is the the new and nicer anti-rime I guess.All right.So you will be deployed based on current crime trends and stats giving special attention to times locations prone to violent street crimes within your command of assignment as directed by who?Your CO.Don't let them say so because that's probably who's directing them in reality.
All right.as per the CO and what are violent street crimes when they mention examples that I would know because they they're giving you the examples in the book.Robs, felonious assault shootings or firearm or weapon related offenses.Great rule.Next bullet highlight.No more than three NSD members, including a supervisor, may be assigned to a department vehicle per tour.Three cops max.Two cops and a boss max.That is it on test day.Prior to taking enforcement action when feasible, ID yourself as a police officer.Inform radio dispatcher when responding to or present at the scene of a police incident.Employ creative crime reduction, precision precision policing, and community engagement strategies to effectively improve quality of life.Increase trust and build relationships with people and communities.Reduce violent street crime by identifying, investigating, and apprehending individuals who possess illegal firearms, jeopardize public safety, erode the quality of life.
Develop intel for possible search warrants, associates from past crimes, and any crime related info with assistance of your command FIO through debriefings and/or confidential informants intel.Next line has appeared on prior sergeant exams.Do not conduct a lineup or show photos without permission.You have two choices.priest and detective squad supervisor or qualified supervisor of an investigative unit.All right, we're going to skip some of the cop actors.Let's go to page 37.

7. Quality of Life and TSOP Duties

The instructor notes recent revisions to quality of life procedures and explains how updates are handled in the course materials. He then covers TSOP responsibilities, including phone etiquette, notifications, and records the TS must maintain.

So the quality of life officer 20238 was the old neighborhood coordination officer, the old NCO.So I'm not going to go through it because there is updates.So updates, what does that mean?Revision orders, revision notices, changes a procedure.These books were printed probably two weeks ago.Last week, April 24th, they came out with a revision notice and it made changes to this procedure.So, not big changes.Obviously, we can't change your book.It's in your hand.That's one reason why we don't give you all the lesson plans for the whole, you know, for the whole course because the job keeps changing procedures.So we updated this procedure.So in cops you will have the new page that the new pages 37 and 38 that go with this procedure.So just print it out, stick it into your, you know, tape it into your book or if you actually want to make the handwritten changes, you can do that as well.
It's probably like six lines.You probably could squeeze it in there somewhere if you want to do it.So, that's how up todate we keep your material.All right.As soon as the change comes out, you're going to know about the change.You're going to get emails with changes.We're going to have a monthly recap of all the changes.What's going to happen eventually when they pick a date for your test, they will say after I'm making it up right now, after November 30th, you don't have to worry about any more changes to the department manual.But up until then, till that date is when we have to keep you a breast of all the changes.So, you got changes to 20238.It's in the cop system.It's actually revision order 31 in case you want to note it down.All right.It came out April 24th.
It actually changed three procedures in today's lesson, but the other two is a handwritten change we're going to make together when we get to it.But this one has a lot of writing, so I don't want to go through it because you're not going to have it in front of you.Next guy or girl, TS OP.This is what you're supposed to do now when you're on a TS.Answer the phone promptly, courteously, and state the following.Believe it or not, they ask this on a prior exam.You are supposed to know the exact order on when you answer the phone.All right?So, it should be uh nine priest and officer Miffs, may I help you?On a prior exam, they actually switched the order.Now, I think that's a stupid ass question.That does not make you a better supervisor because you know how to to answer the phone according to the way the job wants you, right?
But know the order, command, your rank, title, surname, and then obviously add may I help you because we are the kind of police.Okay.Process request for service, interview, visitors entering a command box on the right.Could be a good test question as a boss.If you got to stick somebody on the TS first, it says you should look for a civilian member of the service.They will be assigned as the TS OP when feasible.The TS will notify the desk officer of the following matters of importance or other conditions requiring their attention.When an MOS is required to signal and they fail to in a reasonable time.What is signal?Signal means not the signal phone app.Signal means you call the command.All right?There's certain times that you have to call the command.That's what it means by signal.Confer with the desk officer to ascertain any changes in roll call assignment.
And as the TS, you will maintain the following documents or records.Another prior test question.And this is all you have for TSOP.This little bottom of the page.And this appeared on more than one sergeant exam.So the TSOP maintains highway condition record, frequent telephone inquiries, outgoing toll calls, print out of your CPR roll call system, and a telephone dispatch log.Anytime there is a list in a procedure, think of it as an easy question for them to write because they're just going to substitute one of them on the list.And what they did was they said, "Which one of the following does the TS not have to maintain?"And instead of telephone dispatch dispatch, they stuck in telephone record.Now in uh hopefully you studied who maintains the telephone record.Desk officer by the way desk officer and patrol sergeant number one actor actors for your exam.
Every sergeant exam in history some of them two and three questions from those procedure.We're going to cover them today but just so you know.All right.And regarding we're done with TSR, but regarding the num the procedures that appeared on prior exams, we have history going back to 1998.We going to give you that later on down the road.That's when you really focus in and drill down on those procedures that have been asked over and over.If we give you that now, you're just going to look at that and may disregard the rest of the stuff.And that's not what you want to do.Let's get all the stuff down together.Then when it comes crunch time, like a month or six weeks out, we're going to give you that breakdown.And that's the you are going to study and review day after day after day.
I'm going to tell you about 70% of your exam.We know what what's going to appear.Not we don't know because people are telling us.We know because it appears on every exam.Like I just told you, desk officer, supervisor, if you don't know that those procedures inside and out, backwards, left or right, shame on you because you're getting test questions coming from there.Right?So when we tell you this has been on every exam, you need to know that inside and out.All right, let's go to page 42.

8. Police Attendant and Cell Block Duties

This chapter explains the duties of the police attendant, including prisoner control, cell security, hygiene needs, and female cell area restrictions. It also covers relief procedures, inspection timing, and responsibilities for civilian attendants.

your attendant.The real name of this actor is police attendant, but many times we hear them addressed as cell attendant.So on test day, they could use either one, and I've seen it done, but the real term or real title is police attendant.That person can be a uniform or civilian MOS.Look at what the desk officer will tell him, which we're going to cover in a few minutes.Desk officer will not assign the attendant any duty requiring them to leave the cells if there are prisoners lodged in.That is it.That's their function.Well, police attended assume control of prisoners.Search if applicable and inspect prisoners.Make sure doors of occupied cells are locked.We have it bold and underlined.Don't let them take out the word occupied because then technically that's incorrect.All right.If it said make sure doors of cells are locked, that's an incorrect statement.
Occupied cells are locked.Remain inside the cell block at all times and be alert to conditions and needs of such prisoners.Ensure property dangerous to life or may facilitate escape or damage property or could be used for suicide attempts or assaults.They give you examples.glass, sharp edges, belts, ties, shoelaces, drawstrings is removed.Report to the desk office any physical condition or unusual need of a prisoner.Attend the prisoner personal needs.Now, this is fairly new.They specify menstrual hygiene products, meals, soap, water, and other essentials.Now, the next two or three bullets never used to be in the book.All right?If a menstrual hygiene product is issued, you have to note it on the prisoner roster in the remark section and notify the desk officer.I'm going to give that.Now, for me, that would be motivation to study.I'm not giving Well, first of all, I shouldn't because I'm a male, but for ladies, you're going to deal with pers and some menstrual hygiene.
Just imagine the smell coming out of that all right?when they're in the bathroom.And that was my motivation to study.I was in noco and every night we bring the bodies in, bring the bodies in.I was a detective.Strip search, strip search, strip search.Eventually, you get tired of looking at balls all night long.One night, guy wouldn't strip search.He wouldn't take he wouldn't take his underwear off.Backup came in.We didn't go in.We had a sergeant lieutenant and they said, "If you don't take it off, this guy's coming in."His name was Tiny.He was the detective on my team team.He was about 320 66 black guy.The guy had his underwear in his hand and threw it at me.I was a lot quicker and agile.Now I'll never get my hand up and I caught it.Not that I want to catch it, but I caught it with a glove on and the that came off of that p that underwear all over my face.
I said not you know, particles, dust, not because it was But by the way, there was no cameras, no nothing.That guy got what he deserved, right?Can't do that now.All right.Can't do the many things you can't do now.But I said to myself, I'm done with this Literally, I'm not doing this.I want to be the guy behind the sergeant or the lieutenant saying, "George, you got to strip search that guy."That's was my motivation during 911.I said, "I'm going to study."and I studied so good that I did great on the exam.All right, remember something in your head that will keep you motivated.All right, ladies, maybe you're going to change some tampon and the lady's going to swing at your face.That should be your motivation that you don't have to do this anymore.Okay?And again, I say what I say because you're never going to forget it on test day.
You're never going to forget that this menstrual hygiene thing.All right?You note it on a prisoner roster remarks and tell a desk officer if you give them a product.All right.Female cell area.You a male attendant can visit female cell area when listen to the conditions accompanied by a female MOS and then only with permission of a supervisor in command or during daily cleaning if they're unoccupied or an emergency.Now we in the first line we said accompanied by a female MOS.That term that title when you see in the book MOS member of the service that means everybody civilian and you guys uniform members of the service.All right.When you see MOS that's only you.It does not apply to the civilians just in case you didn't know because they've gone to that on test day before.relief.Remain within the cell block during relief and make sure doors of occupied cells are locked immediately after reporting for duty.
Now, here is a time frame.They light time frame.Sometimes they say at least once a tour during the fourth hour.Immediately upon after reporting for duty, conduct inspection of the cells, make an entry on the prisoner roster and notify the desk officer of the results.And then you will conduct an inspection every 30 minutes, another time frame.Make an entry of your inspection on the prisoner roster.Regarding maintenance for your cells, report necessary repairs to the desk officer, appropriate supervisor.I would highlight that that used to be going to a different actor.I'm not going to tell you the actor because then you'll have it in your head.And the reason I say the people writing your exam are going to be sergeants with one lieutenant overseeing them.So they took an exam years ago.So they know what's changed and they'll say, "Oh, this has changed.
Let's hit them with this."Okay.Keep cells supplied with paper cups, toilet paper, paper towels.After pers have been taken to court each day, wash your cells and test the alarm in the cell block.Now, the next set of duties are for civilian attendance only.Immediately request assistance like panic alarm, contact the desk for a medical emergency in a cell.Enter occupied cell only when accompanied by what?Now look what it says.One of you a mos unless there's some type of life life-threatening emergency and escort prisoners as directed by competent authority.All right, I want to get into some sergeant actors and if we have time, we'll go backwards a little bit.

9. Desk Officer Core Responsibilities

The instructor begins the desk officer section, emphasizing that this is a high-priority actor for the exam. He covers command responsibility, roll call tracking, notifications, command log entries, and the handling of property and inventory issues.

So, let's go to page.It's right here.45 number one 100%.Desk officer.Every sergeant exam.I say this one is more important than a patrol supervisor.It's on sergeant exam.Always lieutenant exams and even on a captain exam.
Now, if you're in the room or you're watching from home, some of you purchased the sergeant and lieutenant course, for those that are studying for the lieutenant exam, you're getting a head start.We're not going over lieutenant duties during this course.Basically, you're getting a refresher on the sergeant duties and then when your class is done, the sergeant class, we are going to roll right into a lieutenant course.So, this is a warm-up head start for anybody in the room who purchased the sergeant lieutenant combo.Lieutenant duties are on your own.We will get into lieutenant when we're done with the sergeant course.All right, we all know who that desk officer is.We know who the ones you don't want to bother with with some Okay, definitely know this guy or girl cold.Let's go.You will be a uniform member obviously in the rank of sergeant or above.
A lot of times lieutenants want to stay in on the desk and they are the desk officer.You will perform duty in uniform.You're responsible for all I would highlight it police operations in the command during the tour.Anything in that house the desk officer responsible for.Somebody upstairs gets sexually assaulted.Guess who's going to get in trouble?The desk officer.They're responsible for everything.Somehow a per escapes out the back window in in a in a cell or bathroom.Desk officer is responsible.They are in charge.All right.When assuming desk duties, sign your name and time in the command log.When you leave the desk for any reason, sign out in the command log and you will operate and monitor the base radio.Now, in reality, probably done by the TSR in some commands.Test day, that is the boss's job.desk officer, you take care of the base radio.
Here we go with time frames.At the start of the tour, you ought to query the medical division sick reporting system to determine any MRS who are out sick or who are not full duty.They're coming back restricted, limited, modified, etc.Any unaccounted for MOS, look what it says.immediately investigate unaccounted MOS at the start of the tour.And then if it's after 2 hours and you can't find this guy or girl, you are then going to follow a procedure in 32417 called absent without leave.We're going to cover that.I think it's three lessons down the road.And I'm going to tell you right now, it's a little procedure that appears on Sergeant exams over and over and over.After roll call, the desk officer will provide central with a complete rundown of the command resources as listed on the CPR system roll call and will notify the radio dispatcher throughout the tour with changes as they occur.
During the tour, update central with changes as they occur like reassignments or additional resources.During the tour, log into DOSS and input the following tax numbers of all MOS on roll call.Tour assignment vehicle number if they're assigned to a vehicle.Check computer systems.What's the time frame?Frequently throughout the tour.Don't let them say at least once a tour.All right?Because you're going to see that somewhere else.computer systems is frequently throughout the tour.Check command email.Definitely highlight this.Check the command email immediately upon starting your tour and then during the fourth hour.That fourth hour is going to pop up again in the same procedure for something else.That's why I want you to highlight it.Command email again beginning and during the fourth hour.and you're going to make a command log entry of your inspection.Monitor the finest messages affecting the command or members of the command.
Monitor department directives and disseminate information affecting the command as appropriate.Ensure important actionable info is related to alcohol platoon or appropriate personnel as required.Next page.Prior to taking desk duties, this is what you need to do before you sit your ass on the desk.You will inspect all arrest processing and prisoner detention areas within the command.That's the first thing you're doing when you come down from the locker room and you get behind the desk.Go check the prisoner area.All right.During the tour, you will periodically inspect the arrest processing area and ascertain the number of prisoners and length of time in the command.Regarding AVL, good test question here.If an AVL is not working, desk officer, two notifications.First up, ITB service desk and then let the patrol sergeant know.And then you will make a telephone record entry of your notification to ITB.
I'm going to stop right there and give you another test taking tactic.99% of the time when we make a phone call out notifying somebody of something or we receive a phone call getting notified, we document that by sticking it in the telephone record.That should be your default answer all the time.There's a handful of times when we make notifications and then we document it by sticking it in the command line.So when you see that, highlight it.I will bring it to your attention, but I want you to get it in your head now.Start training yourself like that.All right?Like this procedure I just told you, it's been on every exam and multiple questions.So, when you study this procedure over and over, you need to look at these words and say, "How are they going to get me?"Because you know it's coming your way.
How are they going to trip me up?All right.Don't let them trip you up on anything that we know is coming your way.All right.Back to the desk officer.Record adjustments on CPRO call.Make command log entry.Notify TSOP of all post changes.Notify the patrol supervisor of reassignment of members returning from court or details.When it comes to meal, arrange meals and relief for personnel assigned inside the command facility.Remember, you are in charge of all police operations inside the command.Ensure that supervisor meals are scheduled so that one boss is on patrol at all times.When more than one patrol sergeant is on patrol, one supervisor will read the desk officer for meal.Mirror relief is not an emergency.Now, here's another time frame.At the beginning of tour, you will inspect the property locker in all areas where invoice property is being held.
You will designate an MOS to conduct a physical inventory using forms P.Forms P will give you an inventory number and you will enter the result of your inspection of invoice property in property clerk division's seals where in the command log by documenting physical inventory number ascertained from forms P.Now, the next section is kind of old, but they like this for some reason cuz there was property found in a command when they do the inspection for like 14 years and it's just sitting in the property locker.So now they came out with a procedure, not now, a few years ago that deals with property in the command in excess of 30 days.Now, normally when I teach that, I would have been screaming the word excess, but that we have a mass going on.So, when there's no mass, it's going to be a lot louder in here, a lot more vulgar.
All right?In excess of 30 days.So, what happens here now?If property is for in excess of 30 days, there's three things the desk officer has to do.You're going to make a separate command log entry indic indicating any invoices stored in excess of 30 days.Number two, you will notify the ops coordinator of the number of vouchers stored in excess of 30 days.And number three, basically get the out.Expedite delivery of the invoice property to his final storage location.So you're never going to forget 30 days.You got to know the words that come before 30 days.In excess of means obviously more than.And I do it all the time.And I'm going to give you the example they used on test day.And I remember it was another friend of mine.He goes, "Oh man, they had the property question.
Desk officer was at behind a desk doing the property.There was a voucher fell behind a cabinet.Pulled it up.It was there for 30 days.So I did.I um I made a command log entry.I notified the ops coordinator and I expedited the I said, "You're an ass."It was exactly 30 days.You do nothing.That's why I'm telling you, start now.Train yourself when it comes to numbers.Knowing that number is just half the battle.All right.

10. Desk Officer Inspections and Access Rules

He continues with desk officer duties involving property records, gas pumps, civil process, and access restrictions behind the desk. The section also covers inspections of restrooms, public areas, parking, and ADA-accessible spaces.

Certified accuracy and completeness of command log entry concerning voucher property.Patrol guide does not say where you do it, but it sounds like it will be a second command log entry.Miscellaneous duties for the desk.Check unrepaired, availability, distribution of field and emergency equipment.Make entry and burdened record.Report defective gas pumping equipment to who?Makes sense.Fleet services.All right.Fuel control and the flag.Believe it or not, this was on a prior test question.Ensure the flag is properly displayed when when it's bright out, light out.Sunrise to sunset.On a prior exam, they said sunset to sunrise.The words appear in the same sentence, but it is wrong.Okay.and accept service of civil process for a member of the command and notify the member concerned when the principal administrative associate is not performing duty.So somebody comes in, you're on the desk with lawsuit papers, one of your cops is getting sued.
What do you do as a desk officer?It says you will handle if the principal is not working.Who's the principal?You probably don't know.Go up to the civilian lounge and the one watching a housewife show of Sher Williams is the principal.So if they're working, get your ass down and do your job.All right?If they're not working, and if you watch Sher Williams or Housewives, don't take it personal.Again, everything I say is so you can remember this in February when I break on certain people or whatever I say.I say it for a reason.So again, if the principal is working, desk officer doesn't handle that process server with the lawsuit papers.If the principal is not working, now you got to handle it, desk officer.Okay?And by by the way, I watch Sher Williams myself.It's very entertaining.top of the next page, the desk officer.
Look what you do.And in reality, I'm sure you all do this yourself.Enter the people entering your command in the end of the patrol log.I'm sure when you come in for a break, meal, whatever, administrative, you're going right to the book yourself.Test day.It is the boss's job to do that.Next section, prior test question.again cuz it was a list.Do not permit unauthorized people behind the desk.To go behind the desk, two things have to be met.You have to be on this list and you have to be performing official duties.So, who is on the list?MOS, nonlocal law enforcement agency personnel, whoever that is.Maybe it's ICE.They're allowed behind a desk if they're performing official duties.Corp, counsel or assistant.DA or assistant.Ne or assistant.Judicial officers do not get assistance.All right?You got to know that list.
And I'm going to give you the example they did on a prior test.Cop sign call left.His tour was over.comes back in five minutes later, says, "Oh, Sergeant, I need to call my wife.My phone is dead, went behind the desk, called the wife."Guess what?Technically, he was not allowed behind the desk.Why?Cuz that was not performing official duties.Yes, he's an MOS, but he's not performing his official duties.He was end of tour.Watch out.Two prongs have to be met.Official duties and you are on the list.Test day.All right.Now is a little kind of contradiction.We just set up above non-local law enforcement agency personnel are line are allowed behind a desk if they're performing official duties.Now it says non-local law enforcement are not permitted in non-public areas of any city property, but the one exception is behind the desk.
Now, if they want to go into the locker room or the muster room, etc.Now, look what it says.You have to have a judicial warrant.They're authorized pursuant to a cooperative agreement such as being in a task force.It furthers the purpose or mission of the department, such as public safety, required by law, or to some type of emergency.I don't think they're going to touch that non-law enforcement because it's a gray area and it could be confusing and the last thing the people who write in the exam is going to want to write something that theydon't even understand the line itself.But know that list cold you will visit all command facility.Here's the time frame at least once each tour.That is it.Don't let them switch it to frequently.It says at least once each door.Now, regarding EEO issues, you ought to personally check restrooms and locker rooms for structural defects that would let a peeping tom practice their sport.
I think we just had this recently, right?In a command, I don't know if it was the Bronx, was the Bronx.Bronx everything up, by the way.Bronx and Brooklyn, like these guys and girls are out of control.All right.So, it tells the desk to correct the problem immediately when circumstances dictate.So, you're doing your station house inspection and you walk by a bathroom, male, female, unisex, whatever the it is nowadays, right?And you can see right in the door is falling off the hinge.That's no good.What do you do?It says take corrective action.Look at the choices.Maybe it says up at the the bathroom out of order.That's it.I mean, unless there's some another choice that is better, that's taking corrective action.Nobody's allowed in.So, if somebody walks by, they're not going to see somebody in there, you know, inappropriately address or whatever is going on in the bathroom.
Inspect the command for display of offensive material.Ensure areas with department systems are being used within guidelines and not damaged.Inspect parking facilities and streets and sidewalks around the command to ensure no department I love some of this.So, listen to what the desk officer is supposed to do.Every tour, every desk officer, you're supposed to go outside and make sure that no department vehicle or vehicle with restricted parking permit.You know what vehicle they're talking about there?Your car, you those plaques you get from your ICO are the restricted parking permits.Make sure your the job department car or your car is not parked illegally.And what do they consider illegally?Obstructing bike lanes on the sidewalk in front of a hydrant or in a bus stop.If you don't have a parking lot at your command, that's where you're parking because there's no parking for people anymore, right?
So that's what the desk is supposed to do.And next line, look what it says.Same two cars, department or private, make sure they don't have equipment violations like obstructed license plates.I don't know how it is with your command, but that's a big deal nowadays.You're having your plate covered.All right.Ensure all entrances, visitor waiting areas, ADA, Americans with Disability Act, accessible ramps, areas accessible to the public, and internal paths of travel to public accessible areas are clean, neat, and free from unnecessary clutter and obstacles.Good luck with all this right?Document your facility parking inspection by making a command log entry of the inspection and if any corrective action that you took.

11. Desk Officer Supervision and End-of-Tour Tasks

This part details who the desk officer directly supervises and how notifications, records, and payroll-related tasks are handled. It ends with end-of-tour reporting requirements and first platoon-specific duties.

Top of the next page.Good list.Good test question.The desk officer is responsible to directly supervise the cat pack.Sounds stupid, but it works.All right.Command clerk.the arrest processing officer and the desk will supervise in conjunction with the ops coordinator and monitor arrest processing.Next up, TSOP.And we already said it, ensure a civilian member is assigned when feasible.You could also use uniform members on restricted or limited.Next up, patrol wagon operator.The desk will assign a qualified member to operate when a civilian operator is not available.If neither is available in the command, we go to the patrol burrow.And then it says, don't assign this operator any duty outside the station house without prior approval from the burough court.Section concern outside the house.If they're in the house and is no purpose to transport and you want them to sweep up, that's good.
It says don't give them work outside the house.Assignments from burough court section are priority over prison assignments.Next up, your police aka cell attendant.Ensure they're not assigned duty requiring them to leave the cells if there are prisoners inside the cells.Last person the desk supervises.The community guide.New title since I retired.I don't know who that is, but they're here in the book.The community guide will be issued a department tablet at the start of the tour, record the name and tablet number in the command log entry, and ensure the tablets returned at the end of tour.Now, that's who they directly supervise.Box on the top right.Look what it says about command receptionist.They don't directly supervise them, but this is what the desk has to do.Verify their arrival and departure by signing the personal schedule and time sheet.
Forward command reception reports as required.All right.Middle of the page.Notifications referrals for the desk.Query your CPR system.Court appearances to ensure MOS required in court are notified and attended.important matters like unusual arrest or occurrences or whatever requires personal attention, the desk will notify the CEO.Trends observed or other important matters.Now, it tells the desk officer to confer with the CEO, that's an acronym, commanding officer, executive officer, ops coordinator, in case you don't know, is the same person as the admin lieutenant.And then if we have major incidents and or special circumstances deemed appropriate by the CEO of Intel and or the CEO of a precinct PSO district, the desk is the notify intel's criminal intel section.Make required notifications that members assigned to your command or that reside in your command.A lot of people don't realize that you're assigned to the seven.
You're a 75 desk officer, right?Anybody that works in your command needs to get notified.you know, you're going to notify them.What about if we have a cop who works in the 100 but lives in the 75?We as the 75 are allowed to notify them as well because they reside in our command directly supervise prisoner roster entries, issuance of summon books, paycheck distribution.Yes, it still says paycheck distribution.Anybody here still get a hard check?I'm curious.You do?You got to tell me on the break why.I just would love Don't tell me now.I haven't seen a bank in like 20 years.Honestly, everything's electronic.But this So, because of you, they still have that in the book.Not because of you, but there So, people still want a hard check.Maybe they're hiding their funds from sign significant other.I don't know what the reason is, but I can't wait to hear what you're going to tell me because nobody raises their hand.
I give you credit for that.So, when cram time comes, and I'm saying this, I want you to see me for cramps.The cra are going to be on me because you raise your hand in front of like 500 people here, right?So, everybody's my witness.He's not going to pay for cramm time.Make sure you come see me.Okay.Now, I'm going to get in trouble.I'm not getting in trouble, but I got you for cramps.Um, examine signing forward forms and reports as required.Telephone dispatch log.Here is where the fourth hour appears again.Remember, we mentioned it in command email.So when it comes to the telephone dispatch desk officer, certify entries by signing after the fourth hour and at the end of tour.And if you look at the box on the right, we have it there for you.Telephone dispatch log and command email the time frames.
Don't let them confuse you with it.Okay.Desk.You will maintain telephone record.You're going to make a daily vehicle assignment sheet each tour.Keep current month assignment sheets on a clipboard behind a desk.First platoon you will verify and have completed sheets filed after each month.So prior test question when you have platoon specific actors pay attention like right here.So remember this every single desk officer and how many will there be in a in a 24-hour period?Three.If you said something else in your head, just go home.Go home.All right.Send me an email.Maybe I'll get you a little bit of a refund.All right.We have three desk offices, right?Midnight, dates off, 4 to 12.Everyone prepares or makes a daily vehicle assignment sheet, but only one desk officer verifies it.That is the first platoon, midnight, late, whatever you want to call them, does the verifying.
That was on a prior exam.Do not let them get you with that.All right.Top of the next page.After we do desk overs, we're going to take our last break.Make required entries and corresponding changes on the CPR system roll call prior to the start of the tour of the incoming platoon.Examples they give you an MOS taking an E day or going sick, etc.end of tour for the desk officer.You will supervise the platoon sign out at the end of tour and you'll make a command log entry prior to your end of tour with all of the following goes in the command log.So identity, condition, and location of MOS injured during the tour goes in your end of tour command log entry.location and time of any of the following jobs during the tour.Confirmed.Don't let them take out the word confirmed.
Confirmed shots fired jobs.So, if it's just shots fired, that doesn't go in your end of tour entry.Has to be confirmed.1013s or 1085s, whether confirmed or unconfirmed, go in your end of tour entry.Open missing persons requiring follow-up including ID Asian residents.Two prongs there.Open and requires followup.If it's closed, we don't have to make the command log entry.Hospitalized prisoners and their locations.any fixed posts that require relief and the number of 61s, TRI and PI Ps off, other pertinent information as required like an RP went out of service during the tour.So other stuff can go in there, but they list specific stuff that goes in your end of tour entry.Last thing is the box on the top right before we take a break.First platoon specific duties for the desk officer.Examine and process forms and reports prepared and summons issued during the previous 24 hours.
Yes, that's what they do.And we just said this one already.Verify daily vehicle assignment sheet.That was the most important actor in today's lesson.When we resume after the break, we are going to go with the number two actor in today's lesson, patrol supervisor.

12. Exam Strategy and Patrol Supervisor Intro

The instructor shifts to broader exam strategy, including how to study legal bureau bulletins and read the end of procedures carefully. He then introduces the patrol supervisor section and explains what to expect from the next actor.

All right, we're going to continue with patrol supervisor on page 49.But before I continue with this, so most of your test, majority is patrol patrol guide and there's some admin guide.Now when I say admin guide, they job move procedures from the patrol guide into the admin guide.So, it's not extra stuff.It's always the same amount of material it's always been.You're going to get penal law questions, maybe two.Now, here's my thinking on penal law, and it worked on every exam.And doesn't mean you have to follow.Like I said, maybe two.I never opened up a penal law for any of my exams.Now, seven majors, I knew those, but other than that, I never looked at the penal law.My thing was, I'm going to roll the dice.Um, but you're not going to get me on the patrol guide because I know patrol guy has to be there.
You want to come at me with one or two penal law questions?I'll try and hopefully guess my way through because you don't know where they're going in that whole penal law book for one or two questions.And it never backfired on me.Actually, on my captain exam, they asked a question about hazing.Hazing.Obviously, if you went to college, you would know what it is.I never went to college.I did online college.So even if I studied the penal law, I would have never studied hazing in the penal law and that's what they asked.That's my philosophy on penal law.You want to open, we give you a legal guide digest.You want to open penal law and start reading it, go right ahead.But I highly recommend you read the legal bureau bulletins that's in that book.Those are going to be two or three questions and they cannot change the fact pattern.
That's case law.Like you stopped the car and you recovered a gun.Was is the gun going to be admissible in court or inadmissible?And it's also good knowledge for you to know out there in the street.It's ammunition for you, right?Definitely read those.Now, what I did with that book was a different book when I was studying.That book that you all have, if you didn't get one, see us.We'll give you one.went in my bathroom.Every time I went and took a I would read the legal bureau bulletins.I go a lot.I didn't go here, but I go a lot throughout the day.So, three or four times throughout the day, I almost went through the book.Now, times that by six months, I knew that book in and out.You weren't getting me on a League of Girl bulletin question, which is two or three easy points that I highly suggest you do.
replace it with whatever is in your bathroom or whatever you want to do.Don't sleep on the legal bureau bulletins, please.Also, when you're reading patrol guide procedures from the patrol guide, right now we just dealt with actors.We're going to get into procedures like line of duties, missing persons.You're going to read it's going to have a purpose of a procedure.It's going to have the cop duties, right?Then it's going to go to maybe the patrol supervisor, then the desk officer.Obviously, you're studying for sergeant.You got to keep reading.After the sergeant, it may go to a lieutenant, which is very rare.That's another reason why you want to be a lieutenant.Not a hard test.Then it goes up to captain.You don't read the lieutenant or captain duties.But look at the end of the procedure.At the end of procedures, they have something called additional data or notes.
And a lot of times in that paragraph there's information that has no actor attached to it.So that means you're responsible for it.And examiners like to go there because they know most students stop reading at the active they're responsible for and don't go look at the rest of the procedure.So when you if you read from the patrol guide, make sure you look at the additional data.our I I'll call this the key guide, key patrol guide.We have everything you need to know whether you So, if you're not going to look at the patrol guide, you're going to be good covered with our book right here.All right, let's get into the next actor number two for today's lesson.

13. Patrol Supervisor Field Duties

He covers patrol supervisor responsibilities such as roll call timing, field operations, emergency response, and AVL procedures. The section also includes scooter reassignment, seat belt issues, and visiting members in the field.

Patrol supervisor going to be you got to either be a desk sergeant, desk officer, or patrol sergeant for sure when you get promoted.All right.All right.You will comply with admin guide procedure 32220 which is the attendance app guidelines.We're going to cover that in general regs next week.Okay.At the start of the tour and at the end of the tour you comply with that procedure.You will conduct roll call when 5 minutes after the start of the tour.It used to say something different.So again I'm not going to tell you what it used to be because you don't need to know.But the examiners know what changed.So they may hit that.Okay.Patrol in uniform as directed.Supervisor police field operations.All right.Field operations.Remember the desk officer is in charge of all police operations in the command.Patrol sergeant.
Obviously you're in the field.Radio runs.Immediately respond and direct activities at a at is the acronym.Weapons.emergencies, burglaries, serious crimes.Now, I'm going to add something in there cuz it comes up in another procedure.Add in there fires cuz when we cover fires down the road, patrol sergeant has to respond to fires in their command.It's not part of the acronym, but get it in now when you're studying the acronym so you know that it comes from another procedure.
If the pat and you're going to make appropriate digital activity log entry when you respond to one of the webs.If the patrol sergeant is unavailable, central will immediately dispatch the patrol sergeant from the adjoining command.Ensure radio undirected at MOS assigned to their sector or post or acknowledged.When services are no longer needed, direct RMP units to resume patrol.Little box before you flip the page regarding Neil.Notify the TSOP of your meal location and you will relieve Lieutenant platoon commander or desk officer for meal when designated.Top of the next page.Regarding the AVL, use the AVL in DOS to monitor R&P locations for uniform members of service safety and ensure proper delivery of police service.Good test question here.Patrol sergeant, if an AVL is not working, what do you do?Notify the desk officer and do not do not place the R&P out of service unless directed by who?
IEB or Fleet Services Division.Now, here we go.Easily change the or to and it's going to sound right because it's the two units that pop up in the same line.
1:38:31 - 1:39:37
Supervised inspection of department vehicles assigned to members of platoon.Evaluate driving habits abilities and take corrective action as necessary.When weather road conditions are dangerous, direct scooter operator to the platoon commander or desk officer for reassignment.Don't let them fool you.You're on patrol.Scooter guy comes up to you.Scooter girl says, "Hey, wind is wind is crazy.The scooter feels unsafe."Do not give them a new assignment saying, "Okay, now you're assigned to sector atom."Send them to the house like it says, "Patoon commander or desk officer."Seat belts has appeared numerous times for the patrol sergeant.You will report serious seat belt deficiencies to who?Lieutenant platoon commander.And if the lieutenant is not available, then you go right to the CO.If seat belts, if seat belt defects are deemed not consistent with normal usage, take appropriate action.Next line has appeared as well.
Report all vandalism of R&P seat belts to IE.So serious deficiencies to the lieutenant.Lieutenant not there.Vandalism.You get in the car.What's vandalism?Obviously, the seat belt is cut, clearly cut, so you can't use it.What do you do?All right.Then it goes to IB.If you just came into class, come up to the front.We'll get we have material for you.Somebody's coming up.Um, be vigilant for indication of disabling or improper use.Like the seat belt is buckled behind the seat so you don't hear the ding ding ding.See him?See him right here?Use.This is fairly new.When I say fairly new since the last exam, use the Salesforce application to assist in supervising or conducting quality of life operations.Visit members of the service as follows.Now, if you follow us on Instagram, uh Frank Vega, retired chief, just did this this these particular points as a question.
Did everybody see it uh on Instagram?If you didn't, you should follow us because we post a lot of announcements on Instagram.We're not asking you to follow so we can get followers.We we don't want you to miss information.All right.So, these are the time frames.Get it down.You will visit footpost in R&P.The answer is frequently and at irregular intervals.You will ensure MOS do not congregate or engage in unnecessary conversations with other MOS while on their post and absent from police necessity.Next up, get the time frame down.This is the this was the answer.Uh this is the question he asked on Instagram.Visit hospital and special post.The answer is at least once a tour.Document the visits in your digital activity log.Enter name, time, assignment of member you visited and sign the digital activity log of every cop you visited.
Next bullet highlight report derelictions of duty to your CO.So this is something we call breaking the chain of command which means you skip a rank like you have a cop going to the CO.What happened to the cop going to the sergeant or lieutenant?You have a sergeant going to the CO.What happened to the sergeant going to the lieutenant?We call this breaking the chain of command.All right.And the little box on the right regarding first platoon coupin.Patrol sergeant, you will visit various locations when you work in the first platoon at different times to ensure that uniform members are performing duty at all times.Next page.

14. Patrol Supervisor Reporting and Updates

The lesson continues with investigations, monthly reports, and who receives them for review. It then explains recent revisions to quality of life procedures and a change to crime analysis duties involving retail theft.

Conduct investigation.Submit reports as required, including but not limited to injuries to MOS, uniform and civilian, that's the line of duty procedure, or damage to department property.Review and sign officer profile report of POS and detective specialists monthly.Make required entries and you deliver this is an easy test question.These monthlies to who?Platoon commander for review by the fifth day for the previous month.It's not in this procedure.But when is the cop supposed to give it to the sergeant?Second.All right.Second day, cop to sergeant.Sergeant to platoon commander by the fifth day.Easy test question.Current matters of importance, you will notify the lieutenant platoon commander or desk officer.Matters of mutual importance or trends, you will confer with the COXO, ops coordinator.Lieutenant platoon commander, desk officer, and quality of life sergeant.You will use the Salesforce application to assist in supervising and conducting quality of life operations.

15. Community Response Team Officer Duties

The instructor introduces CRT officers and explains their deployment, training, staffing limits, and operational restrictions. He also covers their community-facing responsibilities and crime reduction focus.

Community Response Team Officer, CRT.I believe the CRT used to be the khaki pants, right?That was Cass's baby and Cass is actually obviously gone.I have no comment.All right.CRTs operate directly under the control of the Office of Chief of Patrol.Here come here come numbers for you.All right.No more than three CRT members, including the supervisor per department vehicle per tour.So, we saw those numbers already for your NST.Same numbers.We're on page 63.Sorry about that.63.We're on.So, again, three max in a car.Regarding uniform and training, now this changed since Cass left.Obviously, do not perform duty as a member of CRT prior to attending the training.And your uniform, which we're going to cover when we cover uniforms in two weeks, will be as per AG30519, community response team uniforms.Also be equipped with everything described in AG 30508 required equipment to we will cover when we do uniforms and equipment as well.

16. CRT Supervisor Duties and Closing Remarks

This final chapter covers CRT supervisor responsibilities, including supervision, inspections, deployment coordination, and performance review. The instructor closes by reminding students to keep reviewing the material and stay motivated for promotion.

do not perform duty as a member of CRT prior to attending the requisite training.So, I'm not you know what these four bullets are the same as the CRT cop right up above.I'm not going to read them again, but when you when you review, I would read them again.Makes sense.The more you read this hear it, listen to it, write it, it's going to be here, believe it or not.And before we get into the rest of the duties, every class I would have people ask me, Cap, first of all, don't call me Cap.My name is George for everybody here.Cap, how do you memorize this You don't have to memorize this.On test day, all you need to do is to be able to identify it.Okay, you're going to read the sentence and in your head, you're going to start saying blah blah blah because you can almost finish some of the wording for the sentence.
Don't get hung up on memorizing.Memorize list stuff like that, but word for word, line from line from the patrol guide or our lesson plan.Don't need to memorize.All right, continue with the CRT supervisor on the next page.Great line right here.Perform no duties other than CRT patrol when you're assigned as a CRT supervisor.Cannot do anything else.CRTs may not deploy without a supervisor, which means a sergeant above solely to their supervision.Another good line, CRT boss bangs in and your CRT cops are there.They cannot go out without a boss directly supervising them.Ensure all CRT members have attended the training prior to being deployed.Inspect your members when?Daily.Don't let them change that to weekly.All right.Inspect your members daily for proper uniforms and equipment as detailed in the procedure we're going to cover two weeks.Supervise all police operations of assigned CRT.
Be cognizant of location of your CRT members and able to contact personnel at all times.Ensure I would highlight this CRT members do not perform duty in plain clothes or conduct decoy operations.So we seen the same in NST.No plane closed, no decoy operations.Right.Another good one, inspect and sign those guys and girls digital activity logs daily regarding conferrals.The CRT supervisor will inform the desk officer precinct of deployment of CRT assignments in the precinct and times of anticipated patrol and you will coordinate with precinct COXOs of the precincts of concern to address patterns and problematic areaswithin the command.I would watch out for that because a CRT boss on test day could be a sergeant.Remember, they're assigned to PSB, chief of patrol, right?So they're coming in into the command to help out that sergeant.Look what it says is to coordinate with the precinex right to the person in charge.
Attend community events like community council meetings etc.in your commands you deploy in confer regularly with legal bureau regarding developments in applicable case law supervision for the CRT boss.Monitor and regularly evaluate uniform members assigned to CRT for effectiveness by determining success of crime reduction, problem solving strategies, case preparation, engagement with other department units and community residents.Systematically review body warn camera, including all videos regarding arrest and use of force to provide positive feedback and address any performance of tactical deficiencies observed.use the supervisor feedback form on the craft application.Now, my friend over there who gets the check, do you remember the minor violations log?You have time on, right?That that used to be the minor violations log.Right.It's called, it's changed years ago, but now it says utilize the supervisor feedback form on craft to highlight commendable actions by CRT members, arrests that close a precinct pattern or arrest involving a firearm or exceptional community interaction.
So, I'm going to say this, and this goes for every lesson.We give you a lot of stuff in the lesson.Not everything is going to be covered in class.All right.Please make sure you read the entire lesson.So for next class, two weeks from today, you should read next lesson we're going to cover in the AG.All right?And also you should review what we did today.You got to keep reviewing.Right now it's only one week in many, many more weeks ahead.Stay focused.Stay motivated.It is great to get promoted.It sets you up for retirement with a better pension, better job opportunities, etc.Enjoy the rest of your day.God bless and be safe out there.
