INTRODUCTION The FRSC establishment Act, 2007 section 10 provides for the Operational arm of the commission known as the Corps which is saddled with the onerous responsibility of control, administration, management and enforcement of all traffic laws in Nigeria. To effectively perform this function the Corps carved out a 3 tier system of field Operations thus:
Zonal Command
Sector Command
Unit Command
At the unit Command level, Operations department is headed by the Unit Head of Operations (UTHOOPS) who is expected to be a Chief Route Commander by rank. He must be versatile, smart, courageous and enamored with robust ideas in patrol, and rescue activities as well as intelligence gathering.<br>

The management of CommandsOperations must be tailored towards’.
Making the highway safe for motorists and other road users.
Clearing of obstructions arising from Road traffic crashes or breakdown of vehicles
Ensuring effective and regular patrol Operations on its routes
Ensuring good and healthy working relationship with stakeholders like the NURTW, RTEAN, MTUN, ACOMORON, Security agencies as well as the host community.
Providing prompt rescue services to victims of RTC and other related accidents like plane crash, flood victims, fire accident etc.
Liaising with other departments in the Command with a view to achieving set target which must be in tandem with the strategic goals set out by RSHQ annually.<br>

TYPES OF PATROL OPERATIONS: Patrol Operation is preventive enforcement technique aimed at making road users conform to traffic regulation. This activity involves detection, apprehension sun, adjudication and meting of punishment to any erring road user. Command operation at the Unit therefore is divided into two.

Morning: 0600hrs- 1300hrs
Afternoon: 1300hrs- 1800hrs

PLANNING OF AN OPERATION: It is often said that he who fails to plan, plans to fail, therefore planning of an operation requires a high degree of meticulousness. It is aimed at clearly spelling out duties and responsibilities of those to be detailed during and after the operations. A Template as designed by RSHQ will suffice.<br>

MOBILIZATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF HUMAN AND MATERIAL RESOURCES
Operational activity is the pivot of FRSC function, hence a successful operations depends largely on the effort and time put in to ensure adequate mobilization and deployment of human and material resources.
Personnel of every unit Command who are within the patrol bracket are usually engaged in such operations with additional support from adjoining Commands. In addition personnel from the NSCDC, Police, SSS, are also mobilized to beef up the number and provide security backup.
The following items must be made available to ensure smooth and hitch free operations.
Authority devices
Rescue devices
Protective devices
Auxiliary devices
Security devices
Stationeries
Communication devices<br>

SUPERVISION OF OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN FIELD COMMANDS:
Supervision could be viewed from the perspectives of monitoring and regulating of processes or responsibilities.
A successful operation requires close supervision starting from the level of Unit Commander, UTHOOPS, Staff Ops, field officer down to the intelligence operatives. Therefore the Head of Operations is to ensure that;<br>

OPERATIONAL REPORT RENDITION
Report rendition is a very critical requirement for assessment of operational activities in FRSC. This subhead is allocated about 20% in the criteria for Command ranking. Report rendition must be timely, precise and accurate with the following characteristics;
Should be based on facts, verifiable information with valid proofs
Clear and easily understandable
Assist in decision making
Result oriented
Well organized and structured
Must follow approved or recommended format.
In FRSC report rendition occupies a prime position and attracts penalty for in accurate, late or non-rendition.<br>
