During Roll Call, which activities are typical?

• A. Take notes; observe lookouts and officer safety bulletin; training information; new assignments; communication between shifts; ask questions
• B. Review dispatch logs only
• C. Prepare lunch
• D. conduct fitness check

Answer: (A)

Roll Call is the shift briefing where essential information is distributed and clarified. Taking notes helps officers track the updates during the briefing and reference them later. Observing lookouts and officer safety bulletins keeps everyone aware of potential hazards or watch-listed individuals in the area. Training information ensures the team stays informed about recent policy changes or skills emphasis. Discussing new assignments aligns the team on who is responsible for what during the shift. Ensuring communication between shifts prevents gaps in information and maintains continuity. Finally, asking questions helps clear up any uncertainties before patrol begins. Review dispatch logs only would miss the broader briefing and safety notes; preparing lunch and conducting a fitness check are not typical Roll Call activities.
