The Supervisor's Field Manual Checklist

This is a manual with 25 sections covering incidents that supervisors are required to respond to in the field. Each incident lists two to five pages of checklists enumerating the many items that must be addressed at the site to be sure that there is no liability exposure and that the incident has been managed in a comprehensive manner consistent with professional standards of care. This manual comes with a disc (Word 6.0 and Wordperfect 6.1) which allows the purchasing agency to customize the manual and to edit and copy it for every supervisor in the department.

BENEFITS:

• Raises the level of performance of the supervisor by providing a resource that allows him/her to respond in a comprehensive manner to a critical incident;
• Decreases liability exposure by ensuring that the supervisor and officer have responded to the issues inherent in the incident;
• Improves the comprehensiveness of the post-incident report since the supervisor/officer can actually make notes in the manual and then copy a new set of pages by using the disc that accompanies the manual;
• Improves the debriefing process in the post-incident phase by providing a framework for going over the events and the officer's responses;
• Improves preparedness for incidents by using the checklist as a training instrument in scenario-based training or to analyze an incident covered by the media. Success as well as failure can be analyzed in order to determine what went right;
• Improves supervision by upper level management who can use the Checklist in debriefing with their first line supervisors.
