When are you under immediate supervision of an officer?

Being under immediate supervision of an officer is specifically defined by the proximity and communication with that officer. When you are within sight or hearing of the officer, it ensures that you can receive instant feedback, guidance, or direction. This level of supervision is crucial in emergency situations such as firefighting, where decisions need to be made quickly and effectively. Additionally, working on the same hose or conducting a search under the officer's direct supervision emphasizes teamwork and safety, allowing for coordinated efforts in high-stress environments.

The other scenarios do not inherently guarantee the same level of immediate oversight. Coordinating with multiple teams in different locations or using equipment that necessitates specialized training may involve indirect supervision or no supervision at all, which cannot ensure the same level of immediate oversight and communication essential during critical operations. Similarly, fighting a fire outside of the building does not necessarily imply direct oversight by an officer, as they could be managing operations from inside or at a distance.
