Q1 - What is the structure of MO12 (MetCC).
• Specifically, I would like to know the rank structure within MetCC (e.g., call handlers, dispatchers, supervisors, team leaders, etc.).

Please see the below organisational chart for your perusal.

Q2 - What are the daily duties of Metro Alpha officers.

In the MPS TFC’s are generally Inspectors. There is a cadre of full time TFC’s for whom this is their full-time job. There are people with the accreditation employed in other roles. Full-time TFC’s may also have additional responsibilities which will be secondary to their primary role.
