Courses of action - all factors considers, logical appropriate and distinguishable course of actions will be identified to achieve the aim

Admin and logistics
Command and signals
Debriefs
To critically examine what went well during the op, area for improvement. Ideally the debrief is chaired by snr member who was not involved. Takes place asap after op
National command and coordination centre and major operations centre
At pnhq
May take responsibility of an incident or emergency requiring higher level command and control or the management of inter district support
Uses CIMS structure of one or more agency response involved
RIOD emergency management system (EMS)
Used to support command and control operations across police.
Provide common operating picture based on a single source of the truth to enhance situational awareness and facilitate planning and collaboration
CIMS
Effective coordinated incident management across responding agencies by
Establishing common structures, functions and terminology. Flexible framework so it can be tailored
Enables development of own processes, procedures and training for CIMS execution
Components of emergency management
Risk reduction
Readiness
Response
Recovery
CIMS principles
Responsive to community needs
Communities must be able to actively participate in a response and need to effectively communicate with them
Flexibility
Unity of effort
Common objectives, support each other within specific agency mandates while maintaining own authorities
CIMS characteristics
Common structures, roles and responsibilities
Common terminology
Interoperability- ability to effectively operate together
Management by objectives
Lead agency
Agency with a mandate to manage through legislation, under protocols, by agreement or because it has expertise and experience
Lead coordinates response of all agencies
Can adopt a joint “unified control” if cannot be readily identified
Support agency
Provides support to the lead agency
CIMS functions
Control - coordinates and controls response
Intelligence- collects and analyse info and distributes intel outputs
Planning
Operations
Logistics
Public info management
Welfare
Single agency, small incident response
Senior first arriving responding officer becomes Forward Commander or Incident Controller
Had responsibility of all CIMS functions
Multiagency response
Incident controller is likely to appoint CIMS function managers.
If controller changes, detailed handover. This may be when more senior or better qualified official takes over
EOC emergency operation centre
Established if
Several incident level responses at different sites
Off site coordination and support required
Coordinate multiagency or multi incident responses
Each site has incident controller
