The speaker introduces the weekly recap format, explains the goal of keeping it concise, and sets expectations for how the lesson will be presented.
Welcome to the key and your first edition of Ralphie's recap.What we're going to do every week at the end of the week is we're going to go over sort of a voice-over PDF uh version of the lesson.Now, we're only going to run these videos about an hour, an hour 15 minutes long because we don't want to go too long on the videos because you'll lose interest.And in doing that, what we're going to wind up covering are the top procedures.So, not every procedure is going to be test uh going to be uh reviewed by me.Uh now, also, I'm going to keep the editorializing and the jokes down.Those of you who are used to my uh gregarious and happy and loud personality, that's great, but I'm trying to set you up for listening to this in the car where you can pretty much hear the procedure straight
away.Uh now, having said that, if I come upon a point in the procedure that I really want you to learn, I am going to present that to you as a teaching point.And so, I'm not going to read it like a robot, uh but the jokes are going to be to a minimum, and we're only going to cover the top procedures.Uh so, this is your first edition of what we call Ralphie's recap, and this is for the key lesson one for 2027 sergeants exam.So, let's get started.
Covers the core duties of a police officer, including post responsibilities, radio use, inspections, and reporting unusual conditions or station-house entries.
Okay, now we're in lesson one and we're in duties and responsibilities.So, let's start out with 20201 police officer.And your assignment, perform duty in uniform as per roll call or as directed by competent authority.Proceed to post, sector, or assignment as directed by supervisor.Comply with meal and post relieving points as directed by the CO.Remember to use your digital activity log, but you most you must always preserve the old blue book.If you have those old blue activity logs, you're not allowed to get rid of them, and you have to produce them as you are required and asked for them.Do not congregate or engage in unnecessary conversation with other MOS while on post absent police necessity.Uh monitor your portable radio.If your assigned radio is defective, obtain radio from the desk officer.Defective radio, desk officer.Comply with meal and uh meal post relieving points as directed by the CO.
Don't leave post or sector until meal actually commences.You should already know that by now.There is no travel time for meal, uh and be back on your post uh when meal ends.Let's talk about inspecting your post and providing police service.Be aware of and inspect post or sector for conditions requiring police attention.Render all necessary police service in assigned area or otherwise directed.You already know that.Familiarize yourself with everyday routines of people residing, doing business in, visiting, or frequenting your post or sector.Investigate suspicious conditions and give attention to crime hazards.Let's talk for a few minutes about notifications.Any unusual crime, occurrence, or condition, report immediately to patrol supervisor and platoon commander.Remember that.That's not an or platoon commander, it's and platoon commander.So, any unusual crime, occurrence, or condition, report immediately to patrol supervisor and platoon commander.Conditions not requiring immediate attention, maybe like a traffic light is out or something, report to the TS operator.
When entering or leaving the station house, PSA or transit district during the tour, report to the desk officer and indicate your reason for your presence therein.Why did you come into the house?Uh when dispatched by the TS operator, keep the TS operator informed of police services rendered.That's just common sense.If the TS sends you out on a job, let them know that you did the job.Uh if you're detained at court uh or you're unable to return to the command at the end of tour, notify the desk officer.If you're on an assignment that requires a relief, like a face-to-face relief, hospitalized prisoner or something like that, notify the desk 1 hour prior to your end of tour.Okay, this makes sense because the desk officer needs to arrange relief uh for you from the incoming platoon.
Okay, great.
Explains responsibilities for RMP operators and recorders, including seat belt rules, vehicle care, emergency response, and documentation for transports.
Now, let's move on to 20202, which is RMP operator.When assigned as driver for ranking officer, operate the car for the entire tour, you already know that.When the supervisor is out in the car, monitor radio messages directed to assigned area.Seat belts, inspect and notify patrol supervisor of any deficiency.You're required to wear your seat belt uh for all people and all vehicles, including driving or riding in marked, unmarked, or private vehicles authorized for department use.All passengers are required to wear them.Wear three-point seat belts when provided.When three-point seat belt becomes difficult to engage due to space constraints, uh use safety belt extender.If three-point belts are not provided, wear lap belts.Uh remove seat belt only when involved in what appears to be a dangerous tactical situation where the belt may impair the ability to take police action.Uh inspect the car when reporting for duty.
Uh we're going to look at 219-01 when we get there for that, but make a digital activity log of the entry of as follows, the findings, odometer reading, and gasoline.In your lesson plan, that says uh fog is the acronym.Operating the vehicle, operate RMP only when assigned and qualified qualified to operate such vehicle.That's right, you're not supposed to be in a car that you're not assigned to.Operate the car in a manner to avoid injury to person or damage to property.Drive at a slow rate of speed except under exceptional emergency circumstances and consistent with the New York State VTL.Constantly patrol assigned sector.Avoid remaining in areas where radio reception is poor.Permit only UMOS performing police-related duty to ride in an RMP on patrol.When transporting a non-MOS, be extremely vigilant and adhere to VTL except in extenuating circumstances.Do not unnecessarily leave the car unattended and when you leave the car to answer a car, when you leave the car, I'm sorry, to answer a call, remove the keys and lock the vehicle.
Take the RMP out of assigned sector uh when you're directed by competent authority answering an emergency call or services servicing, repairing, or cleaning as required with permission of the desk officer.
Respond to messages of serious police emergency within five blocks of the location, even if the message is directed to another car, regardless of sector, precinct, or borough boundaries.
Go to the emergency with due caution.Do not use a siren unnecessarily.Approach the scene of a reported crime quietly.Position the car at the scene of an emergency as to avoid obstructing or being blocked in by emergency apparatus.When RMP is being cleaned or supplied with fuel, leave the radio on and have the car ready for instant use.If fuel is being obtained in your own assigned command, do not put the car out of service.Do not leave the portable radio in the car.Take the Take care of the car and accessories, equipment, and tools assigned to the car.Cooperate with other sectors and other operators of the same car in order to um uh for maintenance and cleaning of the car.Uh make minor repairs to car when possible.When speedometer requires repair or other parts and accessories, including tires and tubes, notify the desk officer.
Enter appointment for preventive maintenance on the sticker uh that's affixed to the vehicle.Deliver car for regular preventive maintenance inspection as scheduled on the sticker.Perform duties of the recorder when there's none assigned.Okay, and comply with uh AG 32220, CPL roll call attendance uh uh app guidelines when reporting for duty and end of tour.Let's look at 20303.20203, and that is RMP recorder.Ride in the front seat of RMP except when transporting prisoner and mostly disturbed person, etc.Uh the seat belt rules are going to be the same.Assist operator in inspecting the seat belt.Report deficiencies to the deficiencies to the patrol supervisor.Uh Uh make digital activity log entry.You know you have to ride in the back while you're transporting a prisoner unless your car is equipped equipped with the uh partition, then you do not have to do that.
You're required to wear your seat belts.Uh all people riding in all vehicles at all times, even those that are private vehicles authorized by police use, wear the three-point seat belt when provided.Uh when three-point seat belt is too tight, you can use the seat belt safety extender.Uh if three-point seat belt is not available, wear lap belts.Re- Again, remove seat belt only when involved in what appears to be a dangerous tactical situation.Record in digital activity log radio messages directed to the RMP, including time, location of call, type uh case, and enter disposition of each call and time of completion.Assignment originating in station house or other important assignment of an unusual nature, notify the desk officer of disposition.All assignments not emanating from communications, notify radio dispatcher, give location and nature of assignment.That only makes sense.If you got a job from somebody else other than radio, tell radio that's what you're doing.
Okay?If undue delay is encountered in response to a radio message, notify radio dispatcher.Prepare necessary reports and records in connection with police action taken jointly with operator.Uh radio issues, operate the radio.If it becomes inoperative, notify the desk officer.Give disposition or interim disposition if you need to, but generally give disposition immediately upon completion of job and before before leaving the scene of the assignment.If required to go to another location another location in connection with that assignment, give interim disposition.Obtain permission from radio dispatcher to place the RMP out of service.So, out of sector desk officer out of service uh dispatcher.
If you put a non-MOS in the RMP, remember to search the vehicle upon conclusion of the trip.Uh they only say conclusion of the trip because they're assuming that you searched the RMP when you got the car.If no one else was in there, there shouldn't be any contraband in there.But, this particular procedure just says search when you're transporting a non-member of the service, search after.Although, in arrests in 20806, it says search before and after, okay?So, make a digital activity log entry of the transport of that person.The acronym that John made for you is trips.Time trip starts, results of inspection, ID of the person, purpose reason of trip, and start and ending location.
Reviews scooter operator qualifications, operating restrictions, weather limits, safety gear, and required log entries after inspections and arrival on post.
Now, let's look at 20204, which is motor scooter operator.Uh they love to go to this on exams.Uh they'll skip it for a couple of exams, and then they'll hit it for a couple of exams, but either way you have to know it.So, 20204 uh motor scooter operator inspect scooter to ensure it's serviceable and in serviceable condition.Same thing with the fog, FOG, make a digital activity log entry including the findings of the inspection or odometer reading and gasoline in the tank.
Uh Uh, apply for scooter retraining when scooter retraining when you are involved in scooter collision and a scooter collision.Not operated in 6 months and you're being considered for a scooter assignment or operated for 1 year but haven't gone for a refresher course.Make sure you know all three of those, please.Uh, operation do not respond to radio runs unless specifically directed by a radio dispatcher.That means the five-block rule for emergencies does not apply to a scooter.

Describes the youth coordination officer's responsibilities, including working with schools and agencies, conducting home visits, and handling juvenile-related issues.
Let's take Take look now at the 20208, which is the youth coordination officer.Obviously, everything about this procedure is going to involve youth.So, let's take a look at it and read it to you so you can listen to it.20208 youth coordination officer.Reports directly to the SOL, the special operations lieutenant.Keep SOL informed of all juvenile issues and conditions.If the precinct does not have a housing bureau covering the housing development, the youth coordinating officer is responsible for youth in public housing in that precinct.Uh duty do duty in uniform in areas frequented by youths.Uh not to be used for backfill uh for precinct assignments, prisoner transport, hospital posts, etc.Or no details during regular regularly scheduled tours without permission of police commissioner, chief of the department, bureau chief.So, you can't do audio detail or off-duty employment, all that stuff.It can't be during your normal tour.
You cannot be used for backfill, special posts, all that stuff without permission of police commissioner, chief of department, or bureau chief.
Your tour should correspond with youth-related crime in areas frequented by youth.Must work a minimum of 4 hours during the third platoon.Be equipped with your body worn camera as you're required to.Uh home home conditions.Confer with the domestic violence investigator.That's now the DVI, not the domestic violence police officer.It's now the DVI and it has moved to the detective guide to ID home locations contributing to youth violence including child abuse.Confer regularly with FIOs, the squad, and the domestic violence investigator and precinct crime analysis regarding youth crime, visit schools, confer with principals and school safety personnel to help reduce and prevent violence.Other youth agencies and courts collaborate with ACS juvenile probation, court counsel, family court and ADAs regarding youth matters.
Home visits.Prior to visiting youth at home for any purpose, confirm with the FIO PDS domestic violence investigator to ensure ongoing investigations will not be compromised.Wear your body worn camera.If involved party requests, you may deactivate if it's safe and advisable after considering all the circumstances and tag video accordingly.YCO home visit, etc.Document details of in digital activity log and electronic case management system as needed.Investigations and follow-up.Youth coordination officers are not ordinarily assigned juvenile arrest.Watch out for that in a test.Just because you lock up a juvenile, you don't automatically sign it to the youth coordinating officer.
Summarizes the arrest processing officer's role in arrest paperwork, fingerprinting, tagging videos, and coordinating discovery and liaison tasks.
Now, let's move on to 202.09 arrest processing officer.Same thing with this actor.It'll appear on an exam and then they won't hit it for 3 years.There's really no rhyme or reason to it, but it's very short, so let's just take a look at it.Perform duty in uniform.You report to the ops coordinator.That's the administrative lieutenant, the operations coordinator.But, you perform arrest process duties as directed by the desk officer.
Assist arresting officer in all facets of arrest processing, including but not limited to warrant and license checks, uh complete all arrest paperwork, fingerprints, obtain additional contact info, obtain DNA when warranted for DATs, ensure all UMOS properly categorize andtag videos associated with the arrest.That's an interesting point that you want to remember.Perform any additional arrest-related functions a- as per uh the needs of the command and the patrol borough and as requested by the commanding officer.Let's look at your liaison and discovery duties.Liaise on with the district attorney regarding discovery material, identifying acquired discovery material, related documents and recordings of necessary for prosecution, communications issues, availability of MOS, length of time to confer with paperwork or problems, uh borough court section, arrestprocessing issues, confer with them if you're having delays or the AO is awaiting affidavits for too long, etc.Not that much there, just read it down and make sure you pull off the high points of that.
I think mostly the discovery material and the fact that you uh report to the operations coordinator, but you listen to the desk officer.
Explains the quality of life officer's patrol responsibilities, complaint response, Salesforce documentation, and the new retail theft-related procedures.
Okay, moving along, let's move on to 202-38 and that is the quality of life officer.This replaces 202-11.Perform duty uh in uniform of the day, wear your body worn camera, fill out your activity log, carry summonses, patrol in a marked RMP or on foot, work assigned tour under the direction of a designated supervisor.If no supervisor is designated to supervise you, report to the desk officer for assignment.Uh patrol identify quality of life zones with special attention to identified chronic or ongoing quality of life conditions in the sector and command.Address those conditions as appropriate.Patrol command in a way that strengthens the lines of communication with residents and businesses.That line is basically not testable, but let's look at 311 and DOSH.Regularly monitor 311 and DOSH and respond to community complaints in the command.Set your department smartphone DAS and 311 application alerts for the command of assignment.
Obtain crime and quality of life information regularly and as needed from crime analysis and administrative quality of life personnel.

the discretion of the commanding officer.Here is the additional language that's added in from revision order 31.Retail theft review information shared by crime analysis sergeant to identify problematic locations in the command, visit those problematic locations, establish communication with complainants, this would be retail store owners and managers, and develop and implement preventative strategies.Now, this is actionable on your part as the quality of life officer.Get photos of perps regarding retail theft if available, and then share those photos with the precinct detective squad for creation of wanted flyers.Document all of that action within the Salesforce application.All of that language regarding retail theft is all brand new as of revision order 31 of 2026.Go get it, hunt it down, whether it's the key or off your NYPD mainframe, get it and add it in.
Covers the TS operator's phone, log, and notification duties, then briefly highlights the community affairs officer's schedule and program responsibilities.
Let's move on to the TS operator, that's 20214.Answer the phone promptly and courteously and say command, rank, surname, and may I help you.Process requests for service, interview visitors entering the command, notify the desk officer of matters of importance and other conditions requiring uh his or her attention.A civilian MOS will be assigned as a TS operator when feasible.When MOS required to signal uh in and at a certain time and does not, also notify the desk officer.Notify the desk officer when you confer to ascertain any changes in the roll call assignments.Uh TS operator, maintain the following logs: highway condition record, frequent toll frequent telephone inquiries, uh outgoing toll calls, printout of prisoner uh uh prisoner, I'm sorry.Printout of CPR centralized uh roll call and telephone dispatch log.So, it's highway conditions record, frequent telephone inquiries, outgoing calls, roll call, and telephone dispatch log.
Let's move on to 202.10.This is the community affairs officer.Uh I'm going to have you read this on your own, but I do want to cover a few things out of community affairs officer.Uh perform community affairs duties as directed by the CEO or other competent authority.By Thursday each week, submit work schedule for upcoming week to the overhead command and the community affairs bureau through channels for approval.Wear appropriate business attire when not performing duties in uniform.Now, the rest of everything else pretty much talks about attending meetings and maintaining liaisons with community councils and things like that.But, I do want to cover at the bottom of this page on page 39 uh where it says programs that you administer, it says administer the medical alert and Alzheimer's Association Safe Return Program.Make sure you know that at minimum.You have to read the entire community affairs officer.
I agree with that, but at minimum, just know that the community affairs officer administers the medical alert and Alzheimer's Association Safe Return Program.

Provides a long overview of desk officer duties, including command oversight, roll call tracking, prisoner processing, property checks, facility inspections, supervision, and end-of-tour reporting.
Okay let's move on to probably the most important procedure in lesson one which is 202 18 desk officer.The desk officer is a uniform member of the service in the rank of sergeant or above.Duties and responsibilities.Perform duty in uniform.You're responsible for all police operations in the command during the tour.When assuming desk duties, sign your name and time in the command log.When leaving the desk for any reason, sign out in the command log.Operate and monitor the base radio.At the start of your tour, query medical division sick reporting system to determine members of the service out sick and or not on a full duty.Unaccounted for MOS, immediately investigate unaccounted for MOS at the start of the tour.If you don't find them after 2 hours, go with AWOL.That is administrative guide 324-17.
After roll call, uh communications dispatcher, provide communications dispatcher with a complete rundown of command's resources as listed on the CPR system roll call.Notify dispatcher throughout the tour when with changes as they occur.Reassignments, additional resources added, etc.During the tour, update communications dispatcher with changes as they occur.Reassignments or additional resources.The domain awareness system, log into the DOS and input the following.Batch numbers of all MOS on the roll call.Tour assignment and vehicle numbers if applicable.Department computer systems check the computer systems frequently throughout the tour.That's your time frame.Check your command email immediately upon start of tour and during the fourth hour.Make a command log of the inspection.Uh finest messages monitor finest messages affecting the command and or members of the command.Platoon briefing.Monitor directives and disseminate information affecting command as appropriate.Ensure important and actionable information is relayed to outgoing platoon or other appropriate personnel as required.
Prisoner and arrest processing.Prior to taking desk duties,
inspect all arrest processing and prisoner detention areas within command.During the tour, periodically inspect arrest process area and ascertain number of prisoners and length of time in the command.
Periodically inspect arrest process areas.That is your time frame.Uh AVL the automatic uh vehicle location.Uh non-functioning AVLs, notify ITB service desk and inform the patrol supervisor and make a telephone record entry of the notification to IAB.Record adjustments on CPR roll call to post changes as they occur and make a command log entry.Notify the telephone switchboard operator of all the post changes.Notify patrol supervisor of reassignment of members returning from court or other details.Now, let's take a look at the meals.This is the desk officer.Arrange meals and relief for personnel assigned inside the command facility.Ensure that supervisor meals are scheduled so that one supervisor is on patrol at all times.When more than one supervisor when more than one patrol supervisor is on patrol, one of those patrol supervisors will relieve the desk for meal.Meal relief is not an emergency.
Now, let's move on to property issues.Desk officer.At the beginning of tour inspect property locker and all areas in where invoice property is being held.
Designate an MOS to conduct a physical inventory using forms property.This is forms P.Forms P system will give an inventory number.Enter the results of the inspection of invoice property and property clerk division seals in the command log by documenting the physical inventory number ascertained from forms P.Property stored in excess of 30 days.That means 31 days.So, property stored in excess of 30 days, make separate command log entry listing those invoices.Notify ops coordinator and expedite delivery to its final location.Certify to accuracy and completeness of command log entry concerning voucher property.Patrol guide does not state where to do this, but it implies that the second command log that there's a second command log entry.Department equipment check and repair availability and distribution of field and emergency equipment, make entry in pertinent records if necessary.Defective gas pumping equipment, report defective gas pumping equipment to fleet services division fuel control.
US flag, ensure the flag is properly displayed from sunrise to sunset each day except service of civil process for members of the command and notify member concerned when principal is not performing duty.Of course, there's a conflict there in 211 21.It says desk officer accepts no matter what and there's no mention of the principal in that procedure in 211, so don't worry about it.Just know that the conflict exists.Now, let's keep plugging along.We're still on desk officer.Members of the platoon, enter members enter platoon members entering the command for any reason in the interrupted patrol log.Do not permit authorized persons behind the desk except the following people when performing official duties.
Members of the service, non-local law enforcement, corporation counsel or assistant, DA or assistant, medical examiner or assistant, controller or assistant, and judicial officers.They don't have an assistant.Non-local law enforcement not permitted in non-public areas of any city property leased or owned except by judicial warrant, have or authorized pursuant to cooperative agreement such as a task force, uh furthers the purpose or the mission of thedepartment, uh such as public safety, required by law, or exigent circumstances exist.Let's talk about the inspection of your facility.Visit all areas of the command at least once per tour.Potential EEO issues, restrooms and locker rooms.Personally check restrooms and locker rooms for structural defects that would allow a peeping Tom to look through the holes or whatever.Correct the problem immediately when circumstances dictate.Inspect the command for display of offensive material.Ensure areas with department computer systems are being used within department guidelines and are not damaged.
Parking around facilities.Inspect parking facilities and street and sidewalks around the command to ensure that no department vehicle or vehicle with restricted parking permits are parked illegally obstructing bike lane, sidewalks, hydrants, or bus stops.Department or private vehicle with restricted parking permits have equipment violations such as obstructed plates.Ensure all entrances and visitor waiting areas and American Disabilities Act accessible ramps are accessible to the public.Document facility parking inspection in the command log and take corrective action if needed.There's an awful lot of discussion there about parking around the facility.So just read that down on your own.That's why I read that nice and slow.There's an awful lot of responsibility there for something that's not that important.Doesn't mean that it won't be tested.
Now let's talk about the list of people who you are going to supervise.Desk officer, directly supervise the following and CAT Pack, C A T T A C, CAT Pack.That is the acronym that John came up with.It's command clerk, arrest processing officer, telephone switchboard switchboard operator, patrol wagon operator, police attendant and community guide.Now let's talk about the patrol wagon operator for a second.
Assign qualified member to operate when civilian operator is not available.Make sure you look at any roll calls they give you for that.When civilian operator's not available, don't use a uniform member of the service when there's a civilian patrol wagon operator available.If neither is available in the command, then request the patrol borough to assign an operator.Do not assign duty outside the station house without prior approval from the borough court section.So you don't have a driver, patrol borough.You want to send the van to do something else other than transport prisoners, pick up copy paper, whatever it is, then it's borough court section.Okay?Assignments from the borough court section take priority over precinct assignments.Police attendant and community guide.
