Overview
As part of the effort to encourage major metropolitan safety/service patrols to transition to Full Function Safety/Service Patrols (FFS/SP) and to establish consistency among these programs, the FHWA has published the Full Function Safety/Service Patrol Handbook, developed training standards, and prepared the Field Operations Guide and for Safety/Service Patrols.
This Field Operations Guide (FOG) is designed to help S/SP operators and supervisors perform the many functions and activities of an S/SP program.
The FOG is designed to augment, not replace, the necessary initial training required for S/SP operators. The intent of the FOG is to reinforce procedures and provide reminders for various incident scenarios.
Working as incident management and incident prevention responders, S/SP operators encounter a wide variety of situations that require diverse response activities and guidelines. This guide can help operators and supervisors perform efficiently and effectively by providing tools and guidance for successful S/SP operations.
