All the public services have roles and responsibilities to follow when they arrive on a scene of an
incident.
POLICE
Overall the police force has many different roles and responsibilities they need to do at a scene of
incident. In the scene of an incident the police are ensured to follow these roles and responsibilities.
This is because following them will give the police force an effective performance and officers will
have a clear objective of what to do.
The benefits of the police force having roles and responsibilities that they are required to follow.
There are many reasons for why the police have roles and responsibilities when attending an incident
is because of many reasons. One of the reasons for why the police have their own roles that they
have to follow would be because when a police officer is one of the first responders they’ll have
backup coming but at the currently time it’s just them. It’s important for them to create a quick
assessment about the incident to inform others when they come. When the first responders arrive
on the scene, they’ll know exactly what to do without any hesitation. This is an advantage because
the police officers are able to set up the forward control point up instantly. They need to do this as
the police are responsible for securing the perimeter and operating who comes in and out. There
could be consequences if they didn’t set it up. This is a benefit as the police are recording what
services goes in or out. Also another advantage to this responsibility of having the forward control
point is that all evidence is recorded and secured in a safe place, allowing further investigation to
happen.
As there are many roles and responsibilities the police have to follow, if they do not there could be
consequence that come along. If the police forgot to access the situation and then create the
forward control point, the situation could become to have more issues on top of having the incident
to deal with. The forward control is important as it allows police to record information, secure
evidence and stop people entering the scene of incident. That’s why there would be a lot of
consequence if the police forget to do this. I believe this as no one would be securing the perimeter
around the incident allowing anyone to enter the scene of incident which could possibly cause
further injuries to citizens who entered the scene. Another consequence would be that there would
be nowhere to secure the evidence from the scene. This would cause further problems when the
investigation team comes in and there’s no evidence.
