A lieutenant supervises the day-to-day work of a bureau, squad or unit. He could be assigned as a platoon commander, operations coordinator or control officer. He evaluates the work of his officers and reviews concerns of his first-line officers. Lieutenants conduct roll call, make personnel assignments and maintain department property. In addition to implementing orders from above, he must also work as a coordinator at scenes and secure evidence. He is responsible for directing arrest processing and the holding of prisoners. Rather than just filling reports and logs, this position reviews a great deal of paperwork.
