Whose responsibility is it to administer policies and procedures?

• A. Authority Having Jurisdiction
• B. Policy Analysis Committees
• C. Company Officers
• D. Human Resources Department

Answer: (C)

In fire service operations, the person who administers policies and procedures is the Company Officer who supervises the crew, ensures policies are understood and trained on, and enforces them during daily operations. They translate approved policies into on-the-ground practice, monitor compliance, address deviations, and report to higher command as needed. The Authority Having Jurisdiction sets and approves policies, but daily administration and enforcement happen at the company level. Policy Analysis Committees aren’t responsible for day-to-day administration, and the Human Resources Department handles personnel policies rather than operational policies.
