Q

Why do Police use the CIMS model

A
  • It provides one model of command, control and coordination
  • It is consistent with (and required in) any interagency response in NZ
  • It is understood and practised by our multi agency partners
  • It is consistent with command, control and coordination SOPs already in place (to national level)
  • It provides a platform for inter-operability with Australian Police jurisdictions (based on the ANZPAA model)
  • It is already known at all levels of Police and is the operating norm for front line (response) staff at emergency incidents
  • It does not require Police to learn and practice two models of command, control and coordination; nor alternate between the two in a rising tide event that develops in such a way that it requires a multi-agency response.
