Brief Description: Incident Tactical Dispatcher Training Course

Full Description: The Incident Tactical Dispatcher (INTD) course is designed to prepare experienced public safety telecommunicators for operating remote from the ECC/PSAP. These temporary, and sometimes mobile, facilities are usually focused on communications support to a specific event or incident operations but may be employed as a Continuity of Operations resource. These facilities are likely to contain minimalistic communications, resource tracking, and documentation systems.

The course utilizes classroom learning and hands-on exercises in a simulated tactical environment. Since INTDs may support the ICT function of the ICS as a single resource or as part of an incident tactical dispatch team, the course focuses on an ICS foundation that can expand into applicable support scenarios. Course materials and the INTD Position Task Book will be provided to attendees via digital download prior to the course start date.

This course is a regional State Sponsored course and will be instructed by a team of NY State COMU Program Instructors who have both practitioner and COMU experience.
