When police officers handle emergencies, they often work with state or federal responders within the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Because emergency response situations affect many different types of responders, NIMS Incident Command System (ICS) was designed to coordinate responders using the same terminology and equipment, and applying the same principles during each incident. "Incident Command Systems: When Duty Calls" is a valuable training program from Coastal Training Technologies, available on DVD and video, that explains the NIMS ICS. From the incident action plan, which spells out the strategy for managing the incident, to the specific responsibilities carried out by each participant, "Incident Command Systems: When Duty Calls" will help law enforcement personnel respond quickly and correctly in any kind of disaster.
