Very well thought out and presented. Great if you have the people to staff these positions. In the process of developing a team, how would you prioritize the staffing of these positions? Our patrol officers may be taking on some of these rolls. Team Leader, Responsibility #5 - Yes if he is there and able to assume that role but I believe that any team member should be trained and ready to assume control of a situation because the Team Leader will not always be there. I believe staff should also be ready as well. Situations can happen any time day or night when staff are present and security team is not.

Almost all of these positions can be handled by patrol officers. The team lead is usually doing double duty as a patrol officer. Jobs like intel are supplemental assignments. Your first priority should be patrol officers and designate one of them as a team leader.

It's a slippery slope. We are commanded to help the needy, but today's needy people are not like biblical times, especially when they are being helped by organized crime.
