What is the appropriate response when receiving Signal 22?

When receiving Signal 22, the appropriate response is to contact the District Headquarters (DHQ) in person. This protocol emphasizes the importance of direct communication in critical situations that may require immediate attention. By going to the DHQ personally, officers can ensure that they communicate effectively and convey the urgency of the situation that prompted the Signal 22.

This method allows for immediate clarification and the ability to engage in face-to-face dialogue, which can be crucial for assessing the situation thoroughly and receiving timely support or direction.

The other options, such as making a phone call or sending a follow-up email, may not provide the immediacy and clarity required in response to this type of signal. Also, disregarding the signal altogether would not adhere to protocol and could compromise safety or operational effectiveness. Hence, direct contact with the DHQ is the most responsible and effective action to take.
