The job of an officer can be very busy.
Sergeant Nolan Suss, commander for the Parkland Detachment area, says the first priority is to respond to calls for service based on the severity of the call.
They determine the severity of a call based on the danger level, if there’s an assault in progress or a weapon like a knife or gun involved, that takes precedent.
The second priority is to continue any ongoing investigations. They do that because there are lots of cases that need more evidence to begin a court process.
The third priority is to check up on chronic offenders. There is a system in place to check up on these people to make sure they are following the rules.
Their fourth priority is traffic enforcement. What often happens is this occurs when they are travelling in between one of the three other priorities.
