This Recert course discusses how supervisors should be kept informed and must be consulted before making major disciplinary or policy changes. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is empowered to promote workplace diversity. Employees can file sexual harassment or hostile workplace complaints, which the fire officer must handle with fairness while following local procedures. The trend in local government is to expect the fire station to comply with the same rules of behavior that are applied to other offices.

After completing this course, the fire officer will be able to:

• Describe the fire officer’s basic tasks.
• Describe a typical fire station workday.
• Describe the transition from fire fighter to fire officer.
• Discuss the fire officer’s role as a supervisor.
