To be in full compliance with this task, the Department must continue to do well in the areas mentioned above and improve in the following areas. e The Department should ensure that members/employees who ha’ duties (i.e., instructors, tactical team operations and support, tas! outside of their normal assignments are rated on these duties. ¢ The Department should strive to track the movement of its mem! ve significant collateral force assignments, etc.) bers/employees and to know who their respective supervisors are during the year so that the supervisors can provide input for the members/employees performance appraisals. e The Department should document its efforts in building partnerships to fight crime in the community it serves. The Department revised DGO B-6 on May 26, 2006 to aid in its ability to comply with Task 44.
