I met another policeman while studying at graduate school. He was a former Chief of Police (COP) in a municipality in Region 6. He was then re-assigned in Region 11 around January/February 2015.
He shared me some tips on how to decisions. Some of these tips were gleaned from his experience when he handled his men during his COP days. He told me this was how Court Judges decide on the cases they're handling.
I thought it would be something interesting to share. His tips have sat on my post-it note that I almost forgot about it!
1. Think before you decide
Rule number one. I think it's common sense. Don't make rash decisions. Think it over.
2. Look for the three sides of the story
(Yours, theirs, and the truth)
Each person has their own version on what things happened. To make your decision making process complete, gather even the opposite party's version of truth... and ultimately, the truth itself.
3. Weigh everything and then decide.
After gathering the three stories, thoroughly weigh each scenario. Try to form a clear picture of what really happened. Then decide.
4. Always seek the
truth
5. Always rely on reason
Logic. Because feelings are irrational.
6.
Give the benefit of doubt
A person is innocent unless proven otherwise.
7. Even the damned and
the fool have their stories
Because the damned and the fool are humans. And to be human is to live your own personal story.
