The HCO Area Secretary is, by policy, bound to check all new policies that are issued for the week.

If a Policy Letter, Sec ED, Admin Letter, Technical Bulletin or Directive comes in and it applies to your post, you can expect the Area Sec to contact you re a hat check on it.

The Technical Director and the Assoc Sec will be checked on new Technical Bulletins for the week. The Association Secretary will be checked on any new policies or re-issued policies for the week.

Staff auditors receiving routine training under the Technical Director will not be checked unless the Area Secretary is specifically up to an Org Rudiment for auditors.

Academy personnel will be checked over on any new training materials in the week they are issued.

This program does not interfere with routine hat checks as per org rudiments. The purpose of this program is to help ensure that staff know policy and can understand it and quickly apply it.
