Input and update officer duties, activities, and abstractions in the CARM (our computer aided resource management system), ensuring records remain accurate and current. Respond to officers' enquiries about their duties, resolving issues or escalating to supervisors where necessary, so queries are managed efficiently. Communicate changes to duty times or locations promptly, ensuring officers are correctly informed and resourced. Liaise with local Senior Leadership Teams and Operational Support and Events Teams to balance abstractions and ensure deployments represent best value to the organisation. Coordinate with Operational Planning and the Real Time Resources Desk to respond to spontaneous public order or emergency demands, ensuring resources are deployed effectively. Support administration of aid distribution, Public Order Carrier and minibus fleet scheduling, and specialist officer attachments (e.g., Police Search Advisors), so resources are available for operational use. Apply judgement to determine which resourcing issues require escalation, ensuring matters outside own authority are referred appropriately. Maintain confidentiality when handling sensitive personal information, complying with data protection policies. Contribute to team-based service delivery through shared workload and consistent standards of written and verbal communication.
