High stress or high-risk situations are also described as rapidly evolving situations hinder radio communications due to a person’s adrenaline or stress during the situation. An example of a high-risk situation is while working in a jail setting, you are conducting a security walk in your pod or dorm, and an inmate-on-inmate fight produces in the dayroom. All officer’s communication skills are going to be different, but one needs to recognize that the mic on that radio is an officer’s lifeline, if backup or dispatch is unable to understand you while you’re conducting a radio call, they are not able to provide the support you need. Any entity of law enforcement it is preached that you and all staff are to go home, the same way you came to work, it’s a very horrible or bad day when this is not applicable. Not understanding an entities radio procedure can also hinder these high-risk situations, many agencies policies dictate that when a stress full or high-risk situation is being communicated over the radio, that all radio transmissions are to cease, and only individuals dealing with the forementioned situation are to communicate via radio. Sometimes these situations occur, and officers not prevalent to the situation continue to communicate over the radio, and the radio or dispatch is not able to reach the individual who made the radio call, so the stress of partners or other staff hinder one’s radio communications. When the radio call is made, it's easy to tell someone to make a professional, and complete radio call so additional staff or officers can respond, but due to a person’s breakdown or adrenaline in the situation the call may sound very haste, and sometimes excited, this is when you’re notice officers just get up and respond to wherever the persons duty post is that day. All corrections and detention staff know the sound of that radio call, and backup is always on the way. To ensure effective communication during any emergency or conflict, an officer must maintain any adrenaline and attitude. The officer must only convey the most precise and complete with his radio communication, so dispatch or security control can relay the message to get assistance as soon as possible. Other staff or officers can not utilize the radio when an emergency or conflict is taking place, information being relayed to dispatch or over that radio not prevalent to the situation ties up the radio for the officer experiencing the situation requiring assistance. An officer must remember that even calls made over the radio are recorded and can be released to the public or in a court setting, knowing this an officer must maintain integrity over the radio whenever making any radio call. Not talking over or interrupting the person’s emergency radio call is also important for staff to remember when the call is being conducted, this may delay response time due to officers being confused on where to respond. Always utilize the radio or make a radio call when it’s safe to do so, this ensures that you will be able to make a clear and concise call to dispatch or security call, allowing them to get help to you faster.
