Before your team leaves for the day, your patrol captain will conduct a team debrief. This debrief will include:

  • completing all relevant reports and documentation
  • confirming all SOPs were followed
  • discussing how the team worked together, and any steps that could be taken to help the team improve their response in the future
  • ensuring all members are aware of the availability of peer support.
  • identifying any patrol team skill gaps or training opportunities that patrol team members may wish to undertake.

During this meeting, it is important that you:

  • encourage and acknowledge participation by all team members
  • give and receive feedback in a constructive manner
  • make suggestions for continuous improvements that you think of during patrol.
