The Incident Command System (ICS) is used by FEMA to respond to natural disasters. However ICS is also used by local governments to coordinate large special events, such as large scale searches and large gatherings. What is ICS and, in the spirit of teamwork and collaboration, how is ICS beneficial to a police agency? After defining the ICS and it’s benefits, provide several examples when a law enforcement agency has used or may use the ICS. After defining the ICS and it’s benefits to a law enforcement agency, you are to assume the role of police chief of a small department. You need to prepare for a large protest in your town. As the police chief, you will be solely responsible if things do not go well. Using the ICS system and what you have learned through your research, build a comprehensive strategy to address the upcoming protest. This assignment will require you to use the knowledge you have gained through your research and your critical thinking and problem solving. Please ask if you have any questions.
