What should you always read in the PG?

• A. Purpose, definition and procedure. Also all information that applies to uniform members of service. Notes and additional data sections should be read as well
• B. Only the purpose section
• C. Only the definitions
• D. Only the notes and data sections

Answer: (A)

In the Patrol Guide, you need the whole picture: the purpose to understand why the section exists, the definitions to know exactly what terms mean, the procedure to know the exact steps to take, and the notes and data sections because they contain important clarifications, updates, and information that often apply to uniform members of service. Reading all of these together ensures you have the full guidance and can apply it correctly in the field. If you skim only one part, you risk missing how a term is defined, the specific steps you must follow, or important exceptions and current amendments found in the notes and data.
