Ground Vehicle Search Techniques Developed as part of the National Emergency Services Curriculum Project
Sectors of Observation • Team members without specific duties are assigned an arc to watch for clues • Driver, navigator, communicator, and other members with specific duties to perform should not be assigned sectors to observe
Six rules of Sector Observation • Scan the entire sector • Left to right • Right to left • Near to far • Far to near • Observe vehicle safety • Wear your seat belt • Don’t distract or startle the driver
Six rules of Sector Observation Continued • Don’t distract other team members except to verify a clue or target • Be clue-conscious - not just target focused • Tell the driver if he or she is driving too fast for you to adequately search your area • If you see a clue or the objective, tell the team leader, but don’t shout or startle the driver
