Duties
Duties are used to identify specific jobs officers are doing while they are at work e.g. driving a response vehicle, walking a beat. Unlike activities, they are not abstracted. It may be preferable to identify these duties as call signs.
Some core duties need to be covered on a 24-hour basis, others for only specified hours of the day.
For ease of use, particularly when using call signs only, Duties are grouped together into categories.
There are two stages to creating Duties:
· Create Duty Category (the group).
· Create Duty (the duty requirements e.g. skill, rank).

Select General Maintenance > Duties
