What is the responsibility of the operator when completing the SF-91?

The responsibility of the operator when completing the SF-91 is primarily to complete the designated portions of the form. The SF-91, also known as the Motor Vehicle Accident Report, requires information about the incident, including details about the vehicles involved, the circumstances of the accident, and any injuries or damages that occurred.

The operator’s role focuses on accurately and thoroughly filling out the relevant sections that pertain to their involvement in the accident, ensuring that all critical information is documented for investigative and reporting purposes. This ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of the events that took place, which is essential for liability determination and insurance claims.

Other tasks such as initiating the SF-91 or forwarding it to an investigating officer may be part of the overall process, but the specific responsibility of the operator is to complete the designated sections accurately. Additionally, submitting it to the unit commander is often a subsequent step but is not directly the responsibility of the operator. Therefore, focusing on completing the designated portions is fundamental to the role in this context.
