Tabletop
Exercises...Law
Enforcement
 Simply
stated, the more realistically we practice
and rehearse, the more likely we are to
respond when a critical incident happens.
Command School TTX is a leading nationally
recognized developer and facilitator of
emergency preparedness and response tabletop
exercises. The tabletop exercise prepares
law enforcement officers by providing the
basic technical and conceptual skill
practice necessary to take control,
supervise and manage fast breaking critical
incidents.
In any of the all-hazard incidents to which
law enforcement officers respond, they will
have to interact and communicate other
response and civilian disciplines. Hands-on
response exercising in accordance with the
principles of the Incident Command System
(ICS) and the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) helps achieve a desired
incident outcome. The Command School TTX
facilitators are incident-tested,
cross-discipline professionals who will help
develop the skills that are applicable to
most critical incidents.
The law enforcement professional will learn
ICS, an emergency management concept which
can be used to manage any emergency, from a
small incident to a large civil disturbance.
ICS is an "all-risk" system appropriate for
any type of emergency. This system does not
erase the normal chain of command; instead,
it is the temporary coordination of all
response assets during a critical incident.

"The creation and
implementation of the
National Incident Management
System is mandated in
section 16 of HSPD-5. The
NIMS is intended to "provide
a consistent nationwide
approach for federal, state,
and local governments to
work effectively and
efficiently together to
prepare for, respond to, and
recover from domestic
incidents, regardless of
cause, size, or complexity." |
