Critiques are one of the most effective ways PC SAR has to improve the manner in which it works. The purpose of a critique is not to be critical but to share an understanding of what worked well and what could be improved.
PC SAR performs a critique after all but minor incidents.
Our preference is to use a SAR Manager that was not involved in the incident to give an unbiased chairing of the critique.
Tasks
- Prepare for the meeting
- Pick a time (Tuesday evening?) when most participants in the search are available.
- book a room (FireHall, MDMeetingRoom)
- Announce by e-mail or call-out.
- Have someone (usually the last Search Manager involved) draft a 1 page summary of the incident. (see Incident Summary Form Task)
- Invite the tasking agency and other organizations we worked with to send a representative. Many SAR groups are listed at: http://www.saralberta.org/groupmap/groups.html
- Decide whether snacks are needed and arrange them.
- Collect suggestions from those members that can't attend.
Your effort: 1 hr
- Chair the meeting.
- Ask someone to take detailed notes.
- Sample agenda (usually there is not enough time for all of these items; focus on the important ones)
- introductions
- sign in (to the critique)
- confidentiality
- brief report from person in charge of post op activities (last search manager?) re expenses, lost and found, work needing doing, etc.
