As an Expert Specialist Officer (ESO), you are required to take on a leadership role at scenes, acting as a Commanding Officer and ensuring effective Scene Control and Management. While it is optional, you may also choose to train officers across different departments and provide guidance, answer questions, and support team members across ERPT. Although you are exempt from completion requirements, you may still participate and earn points if you wish. However, to retain your ESO status, you must meet the required minimum hours—failure to do so at least once will result in demotion to Senior Response Officer (SRO).

As mentioned earlier there are more responsibilities you take up as a ESO than being a Specialist officer. You are able to conduct:

• Scene Containment Training

• DSU Training

• Advanced Response Officer Inductions

• Basic Response Officer Inductions

• Horse Training

Being at this rank shows that you are a capable trainer and can be trusted within the division. You are exempt from completions but still have the ability to conduct them.

As an Expert-Response-Officer you will of course receive perks however if these perks are to be messed around with you will be removed from the Expert-Response-Officer rank immediately.

• You can authorise Low Speed Tactical Contact

• You are comp exempt

• You are able to conduct all ERPT Trainings

• Access to new clothing

• Able to wear ARO/SRT/ESO Clothings
