One of the most important aspects of the response officer role is adhering to the ‘golden hour’ principles at the start of an investigation. In this initial hour of a crime taking place, the actions of the response officer are key, as they will be responsible for preserving life and evidence, as well as identifying the victims, suspects and witnesses. A career pathway in response policing 1 What are the progression opportunities? It is likely that every police officer will be a response officer in their career and many will return to response policing between roles. Therefore, the opportunities for progression are endless. Those seeking promotion will often undertake the duties of a response sergeant, as many of the skills needed for progression into specialist areas start in the response policing world. Response officers can progress within the role and gain lots of skills throughout their career, or they may choose to specialise in other areas of uniformed policing. However, due to the strong investigation skills needed in response policing, a career as an investigator is also a likely possibility. Exploring response policing further The diagram on the next page shows how you may develop in response policing as a constable. As you can see, it is likely that both new recruits and experienced officers will be drawn to response policing. The opportunities to develop and ‘bolt on’ skills and qualifications are also shown. If you are looking at progressing through the ranks, you should look at the National Police Promotions Framework (NPPF) information. It may not be possible to progress through the ranks within a particular job family, as forces may assign newly promoted individuals or those in acting posts, in line with organisational need.

It is my hope that you and your families are safe and healthy in these troubling times. In the midst of this pandemic and the hostile political environment, I believe that practices and activities, such as the Tipstaff which we are able to continue and enjoy from the past, are more important than ever. Since taking the reins in June, Kate and the Board have been working diligently to prepare for the upcoming year in a way and format that has never been done before. We were able to meet in person, with proper masks and semi- social distancing, on the lawn of Morgan & Co. in September. This event was enjoyed by all who attended as we were finally able to have a bit of normalcy and see each other in person. On October 29, 2020, Kate and Maria Nowotny arranged to have Attorney James Long present a CLE on the topic of the New York Shield Act, which was attended by 20 of our members. Maria and Kate are busy preparing a CLE for December discussing the re-opening of the courts to be presented by our local justices and judges and other court staff. Upon the idea of Judge Kershko, Kate and I have worked with the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York to partner in the presentation of a CLE for volunteer assistance to pro-se litigants in foreclosure actions.
