Responsibilities
Sergeants serve in a first-line unit‑level supervisory capacity, overseeing a team. They manage schedules, evaluate direct reports, prepare and recommend development plans, provide coaching, discipline, and commendations as appropriate. Sergeants plan for a shift, make assignments, respond to public inquiries, intake complaints, and ensure compliance with policy, law, and local regulations. They support the unit in carrying a case load, responding to calls, emergencies, and crimes, working special events, and other non‑supervisory duties as necessary.
