What is the role of the Watch Commander if an employee refuses to call for an alternative driver while intoxicated?

The role of the Watch Commander in this situation is to ensure the safety and well-being of both the employee and the public. If an employee is intoxicated and refuses to call for an alternative driver, the Watch Commander must take appropriate action. Contacting local law enforcement is a crucial step to handle the potentially dangerous situation of allowing an intoxicated individual to drive. This not only protects the employee from the consequences of driving under the influence but also safeguards the community from potential harm that could arise from impaired driving.

The involvement of law enforcement can facilitate the process of ensuring that the employee has a safe and responsible way to return home, while also addressing any legal implications that may be necessary given the circumstances. In contrast, allowing the individual to drive themselves puts everyone at risk, ignoring the situation could have severe repercussions, and simply providing a ride without addressing the immediate risk does not adequately resolve the problem.
