Incumbents are involved in either patrolling an assigned area in a radio-equipped vehicle, or performing administrative, communications, public information and/or complaint duties. Under general supervision of a sergeant or other police supervision, the employee is required to exercise initiative and independent judgment as well as tact, courtesy and self-control in performance of duties. The employee is also expected to make decisions calmly and quickly in emergency or hazardous situations. Some positions in this class may include receiving in-service training in preparation for promotion or special assignment. Most positions require the employee to work on rotating shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays. Work is reviewed through reports submitted, observation and results obtained.
