• The employees perform a moderate number of tasks which require some judgment and decision-making but are largely dictated by the department procedures and policies.

Deadlines and priorities are usually determined by the supervisor, but the employee may determine others in the field.

Public contact situations are often structured and only normal tact and judgment must be used; however, at times the employee must encounter the public in situations involving conflict and which require considerable tact and judgment in handling the situation.

The work involves an element of danger and the employee is required to use considerable judgment in unstructured situations and with hostile, uncooperative, or dangerous persons.
