Duty Priority
Because there are many variables involved, it is impossible to provide a list of duty
priorities that apply to every situation. Each set of circumstances must be evaluated on
its own merit, and when more than one action is required, you must exercise your best
judgment based on known facts and circumstances. Action that appears most critical
from a safety standpoint should be performed first.
