Work involves an element of personal danger.
Work involves substantial public contact with citizens and law violators. Work involves protecting life and property, prevention of adult and juvenile crime, apprehension of law violators, directing of traffic, and general enforcement of laws and ordinances. Work is performed in accordance with departmental rules and regulations and oral instructions from a superior, but some initiative and judgment must be exercised in performing work assignments. While most decisions are limited by established procedure, some independent judgment must be exercised in the handling of specific cases. A person in this position may be assigned to work any shift, including weekends and holidays and overtime assignments.
