  • Briefing deputies with information regarding daily patrol activity, with particular attention given to unusual situations and changes in the status of wanted persons, stolen vehicles, and major investigations
  • Notifying deputies of changes in schedules and assignments
  • Notifying deputies of new General Orders or changes in General Orders
  • Reviewing recent incidents for training purposes
  • Providing training on a variety of subjects
