We need to judge the success of a unit, and in the future, NPAS, not just on how many searches are "attended".
Not how many incidents are "attended"...
But on actual results.
ie. direct ARRESTS
Vehicles LOCATED
Missing persons FOUND
not on how many boxes get ticked.
It clearly reads "just".
I wrote JUST in big letters, in case it got missed.
What it does read, (leaving out the 'just') is;
'We need to judge the success of a unit, and in the future NPAS, on the numbers of searches and incidents attended, direct arrests made, vehicles located and missing persons found, not on how many boxes get ticked.'
Unfortunately for your argument, in all of those examples you give, there is a box labelled "
Request ASU" awaiting a tick.
Deploying on a box ticker gets the ac airborne allowing a higher level of response and leads to the direct arrests, located vehicles and the found mispers you are after. In the management world of your bean counters, decision makers and guillotine lever holders, ticked boxes are good
In a region where multiple jobs can come thick and fast once you're up, launching on a 'box ticker' makes sense. However, in a more quiet region, I can see your point.
