Ask WYE – Issue 1 – Numbers Driven Evaluation

We asked and you answered!

That is to say, we asked you to ask, and we answered…by…answering…?

What’s Your Emergency Radio debuts a brand new periodic feature where YOU THE AUDIENCE will ask us to answer a question you have.  Just click the little blue bar on the side of our homepage, leave a 90 second message including your question, name and location optional, and we’ll do our best to answer it on the show!

Today’s ASK WYE comes courtesy of Pete in North Carolina who asks about numbers driven evaluation in law enforcement.

Your hosts, Motorcop and the Happy Medic, dive into a number of different numbers based evaluations they’re familiar with and discuss what to do if the metric you’re being judged by doesn’t paint an accurate picture of you, your agency, or the expectations your agency set for you.

After all…

• Can we expect night shift to do as many traffic stops of teenagers on phones near the school?
• Should Engine 5 in rural New Mexico run as many calls as Engine 1 in San Francisco?
• What are metrics an agency could use to paint a more realistic picture of your duties?

Find out in this episode of ASK WYE!
