TASK FOURWhen any public service is attending a scene of emergency. Each service will have different roles and
responsibilities they will have to follow when they arrive on the scene of the incident.
POLICE
The police are normally the first service to attend the scene of the incident. When the police do
arrive to the incident their initial actions that the police follow is “CHALETS”. This stands for 7
different things. C stands for casualties. The police will see how many individuals are involved in the
incident and who is injured along with who isn’t. H is hazards. The police officers will see what the
actually hazard is then they will identify any potential hazards that could occur. A stands for access.
Officers will determine the routes to the incident and the routes out, allowing them to tell back up or
other services responding to the incident. When the police get there, they will locate the exact
location of the scene. Police officers will log which services are currently at the scene and if any
backup is needed from the different services. The police will have to describe what type of accident it
is. The very last one is safety. The police will have to keep themselves safe and with other personnel
or civilians. Another initial action the police will take is using a forward control point. This is where
the police will control who is allowed in and who isn’t. They will always have a decision log. The
decision log is used for keeping everyone updated with all the new and old information. They will
also log all the evidence and allow everyone to know what is happening.
The police force has many roles and responsibilities during their time at the incident. One of the
roles and responsibilities a police officer would have are communicating to other services on the
scene such as statutory agencies or local authorities etc. As the police officers have set up a forward
control point, they are responsible for co-ordinating to the other services, updating them on
everything that is happening with the incident that has occurred. Another role and responsibility the
police have is getting everything back to normal allowing the area to become open again. They are
responsible for getting everything under control, allowing everything to run smoothly and effectively.
FIRE RESPONDERS
The fire service also has initial actions they will take. The very first fire responders will determine the
roles for the fire incident commander. The fire service will not get involved with everything when
they get there. This is because they have to make a decision log along with completing a risk
assessment. Another initial action they will do is set a rendezvous point also they’ll set up a
restricted zone and cordon.
As every other service, the fire service also has their own roles and responsibility. One of these
would be saving lives. The fire services main role is to save as many lives as they can. The fire service
has the responsibility for getting civilians out of crushed cars allowing the ambulance service to get
involved and give first aid. Another main role they have is either stopping or preventing any cause of
a fire. This allows people to stay safe from any explosions from a car etc.
