Explain in 3 sentences how police call sheets are used in law enforcement

zepelin [54]

Answer:

We used them as an hourly shift justification - where we were what we were doing (computers and GPS do it now). If there was an arrest, traffic stop or incident, it was recorded on the call sheet and a small description with any number assigned. The totals were recorded and turned into the shift supervisor - who would take the report, arrest information and any other paperwork necessary.

The paperwork had to match the dispatcher call sheet and could be used by the union to complain about breaks and lunches being missed. The stats from each call sheet was used in reporting to the FBI crime statistics reports and for state and local reporting - ie number of calls, traffic incidents and violent calls.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The physician is being sued. Insurance company should provide an attorney. If the doctor is negligent, insurance company should pay (that's why we have premiums). Dr. Z is sued, goes to agency, and notifies the agency. The agency doesn't notify Aetna in right amount of time, and also notifies the wrong company. Aetna doesn't have a liability because they were not notified in a timely manner. Larson is agent to Aetna. A principal's notice to agent=notice to principal. That's the same as notifying Aetna according to its claims procedure. This is not Dr.Z's problem. Aetna is wrong in denying coverage, and Dr.Z will succeed and not have to pay.
