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.
