Assignment Considerations

When configuring posts, consider:

• Coverage Needs — How many people typically cover this post?
• Skill Requirements — Does this post require special training (e.g., armed)?
• Physical Layout — Does your campus layout require specific positions?
• Service Types — Do different services need different post configurations?

Best Practices

• Use Clear Names — Names should be instantly recognizable.
• Keep Descriptions Updated — Include any special instructions.
• Regular Review — Audit posts quarterly to remove unused ones.
• Consistency — Use the same naming conventions across similar posts.
