I am interested in finding out how other agencies handle staff calling off duty to include, who they contact, how is the on-coming supervisor notified, what if overtime is needed, etc. I placed a few questions below.
What is your procedure for staff to call off duty?
Do they call their immediate supervisor, the Center, or someone else?
How does the on-coming supervisor know a staff member called off?
What if calling off leaves the squad shorthanded and overtime will be needed? Who makes that call?
Thank you in advance,
