What is the supervisor's responsibility after being notified of a pushed vehicle incident?

• A. Defer investigation
• B. Issue a citation to the driver
• C. Respond to the scene and conduct a supervisory investigation in accordance with Order 572
• D. Remove the vehicle

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that a supervisor must take immediate, formal action to preserve safety and accountability after a pushed vehicle incident. When notified, the supervisor should respond to the scene and begin a supervisory investigation following the procedures in Order 572. This ensures a consistent, credible fact-finding process: securing the area, ensuring personnel safety, coordinating with medical or tow services as needed, and collecting statements, diagrams, photos, and any available evidence (dashcam footage, vehicle data, etc.). Conducting the investigation under the established order provides clear steps and proper documentation for reporting, potential disciplinary actions, and learning from the incident.

Deferring the investigation would skip required procedures and timelines. Issuing a citation to the driver is typically a law enforcement action and not the supervisory investigation step described by Order 572. Removing the vehicle may be a tow decision but is not the central duty of the supervisory investigation itself.
