The simulation exercise for the performance of sergeant's duties involves correspondence, interaction with role players, telephone calls requiring decisions and action, as well as an end-of-the-day formal press interview complete with television cameras. The objectives of the exercise are to (1) provide the trainees with structured experience in supervising, planning, decisionmaking, counseling, and communicating and (2) provide course coordinators with a tool for assessing the general capabilities of each student. The coordinator evaluates each trainee's assessment forms and correspondence, and each trainee's performance is discussed in a personal interview with the coordinator. The interview highlights strengths and weaknesses in the simulation performance, and agreement is reached on any appropriate remedial work. This training book includes role sheets and assessment forms, a trainee instruction sheet, an office allocation sheet, a timing sheet, the answer book, items for the file tray, and the final assessment form.
