What is the protocol if a recruit is absent or late?

The protocol for a recruit who is absent or late is to immediately notify the TAC Staff. This is crucial because prompt communication allows the staff to account for all recruits and ensure that any necessary follow-up can take place. By notifying the TAC staff, the recruit demonstrates responsibility and respect for the training process, which is essential in a law enforcement context. This action contributes to effective class management and enhances the accountability of each recruit.

Other options do not facilitate clear communication or responsibility. Remaining silent until the class ends may lead to confusion about the recruit's status and could disrupt the flow of the training. Waiting until the end of the day delays the necessary accountability and may result in missed opportunities for recovery or support from staff. Writing a note to the instructor may not reach them in a timely manner and could be easily overlooked, failing to address the immediate need for communication regarding attendance.
