12.8 TELEPHONE PROTOCOL

Objective: Promote professional use of the telephone in daily Operations

Procedure:
The use of the telephone is, in many cases, the main source of information to the Surveillance
Department. Telephones in the Surveillance Room will be used for official business only.

 When answering the telephone, identify yourself by first name and staff ID number and
ascertain who is calling.
 Immediately query the problem and identify if it is a legitimate call.
 It is essential that all information be obtained from the caller, prior to information being
released by the Surveillance Department.
Personal information about Surveillance Personnel should not be released in any circumstances. The
telephone is our vital link with the gaming floor and other departments. It is important to remember that
an incoming call may be important and at all times must be given priority. Phones should always be
answered promptly.

All calls should be kept business-like and professional telephone etiquette used at all times.

When answering telephone calls in the Monitor Room the following points should be observed:

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
 Never let the telephone ring for longer than 2-3 rings.
 For Internal calls always answer with “Surveillance Operations given name, staff ID
number speaking”.
 For External calls always answer “LONG BAY Casino, name speaking”. Do not give a
caller any information unless you know who is speaking. If the caller requests
information, take name, contact number and advise someone will ring back.
 Always ensure you get the name of the caller.
 If unable to assist for any reason, only advise “sorry we are unable assist you”.
 Always ensure you have all of the information required to give follow-up assistance
before hanging up.
 Always take notes.
 Always relay information back to the caller.
 If at any time you are unsure of giving out information, refer the call to the Surveillance
Shift Manager or designee.
 Ensure you understand the information received. Repeat the key points to caller for
receiving confirmation.
 Never give/deny permission, refer the caller to their Supervisor/Manager. We do not
give anyone permission to do anything. If a caller is giving information on a subject or
course of action; log it.
Note: If you experience any difficulties or uncertainty about the nature of a request made to you on the
phone, refer the call to your Shift Manager/Assistant Manager.

When making a call from the Surveillance Room, the following points should be observed:

 Always state it is Surveillance calling.


 Always state reason for call.
 Always state facts; do not give opinions, evaluations, make judgements.
 When information is required from a staff member, request information in an enquiring
tone, do not demand.
 When advising a Pit Boss of an error or procedural violation by pit staff, advise Pit
Boss of table, approximate time of incident and what happened.
If an incident involves a guest who is overpaid, do not in any way insinuate that the Pit Boss must
retrieve the money. Request information as to what action will be taken and log incident, reply and
action taken with outcome if any.

Security transmissions. Surveillance may be required to transmit to Security via the hand-piece situated

To ensure maximum effectiveness in the use of the radio it is essential that certain procedures be
followed. Failure to follow these procedures may result in misunderstandings.

12.10 UNABLE TO ASSIST (U.T.A)

Objective: Provide consistent guidelines in cases where footage is inconclusive or unavailable

Procedure:
All attempts should be made to assist where a request is received utilizing all resources at the
Surveillance Departments disposal. In the event that you are “Unable To Assist” (UTA) with a request
for any reason, inform the on duty Surveillance Shift Manager/Assistant Manager or
Executive/Supervisor and complete a Daily Log entry.

 If the reason for the UTA is due to technical problems, the Equipment Failure Log must
be completed. Where possible assign a camera to a spare monitor to ensure coverage
is re-established and maintained.
 The advice of a UTA to the relevant person making the original request for assistance
will be made by the Surveillance Shift Manager or designee.
 If the UTA is due to workload or because the person requesting the review is not
authorised to do so, then the on-duty Surveillance Shift Manager must be informed as
well as the relevant department Manager.
 If the UTA is due to a technical fault or the request being outside the footage retention
period then only “Unable to assist” is to be informed without any further details.
 If at any time the receiver of the UTA is not satisfied with this result, they must be
referred to Surveillance Management.

It is the policy of our Company that recorded images of any incident may be viewed by a patron in

the first instance. If the patron is still not appeased then viewing of footage / images may be an option,
only on the express approval of the Surveillance Shift Manager or above.

The following criteria must be considered:

 Amount of error.

 Quality of coverage with regard to resolution and error clarity.
 Whether Security and/or confidentiality of Surveillance may be compromised.
It will then be up to the discretion of the Surveillance Shift Manager or above as to whether they feel
this action is warranted.

If it is decided not to proceed with the patron viewing of footage then such a decision should be
approved by the Surveillance Shift Manager or Surveillance HOD and can only be over-ridden by the
property President.

If footage is to be viewed, it must be carried out in a private viewing area outside the Surveillance
