Terry, our depts SOG's ( and most dept's) are the guy in the officers/passenger seat, handles the radio, siren etc.... The driver just drives, and nothing else. A lot of drivers try to do everything and it is tough. Back when I was chief, I instituted that policy. I also teach Emergency Vehicle Response and strongly emphasise the driver just stick to driving whenever possible.
We also have headsets similar to a pilots that we wear. I refuse to use them. I dont like to be shut out from the sounds around me when I'm driving.
