What is a Finest message?

What is a Finest message?

• A. Same as interim orders but when promptness is necessary
• B. A permanent order
• C. General information such as educational courses available, scholarships, fraternal events
• D. Tactics described in training bureau bulletins

Answer: (A)

A Finest message is a rapid, department-wide notice used to issue time-sensitive directives to sworn personnel. It functions like an interim order in that it carries immediate authority and requires prompt compliance, but it’s issued specifically when speed is essential to implement a change or instruction across units. It’s not a permanent order; it’s temporary and aimed at urgent situations. It isn’t meant for general information or for presenting training tactics, which is why the option describing it as a quick, temporary directive best fits.
