Critical Incident Management / Command Post Operations
HOSTED BY LA CLEAR
Police Training Services Company (PTSC) is proud to announce that the seminar, “Critical Incident Management / Command Post Operations” will be hosted by LA CLEAR.
Designated as the command and control center for a police incident, the command post is ideally suited for the Incident Command System. This seminar is designed to make the Incident Command System simple to understand and easy to utilize. Participants will learn about such topics as: ICS strengths and application; the Command and General Staff; how to staff a command post using the ICS system; and what the different sections are and how they operate.
In addition to learning about ICS, attendees will also receive instruction on how to operate a command post. Topics include: briefings, decision making, volunteers, site selection and a variety of other topics. Another section of the class deals with incident characteristics. All incidents have common characteristics. Once the common characteristics are determined and dealt with, the command post can then deal with what makes this incident unique. A final section of the class is called “Questions Asked.” Incident Commanders will not be caught unaware if they know what questions will be asked by the chain of command.
The class is taught through the utilization of PowerPoint presentations, class interaction, tabletop exercises and extensive handouts. Art Ruditsky, retired from the Los Angeles Police Department after thirty years of service, teaches the class from the perspective of having performed a variety of command post positions; a multitude of incidents responded to; and at ranks from officer to lieutenant. Critiques from previous classes have emphasized that Lieutenant Ruditsky makes the entire process easy to understand.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Officers, sergeants and lieutenants who will be involved in an incident (pre-planned or spontaneous) requiring a command post.
