NEW COURSE AVAILABLE

Critical Incident Management for Tactical Responders (CIMTR)

When a major incident begins to unfold, the first law enforcement officer (LEO) on scene often becomes the first incident commander. Many LEOs and frontline LE supervisors are unsure how to set up and utilize ICS and how it applies to LE scenarios. This course will help build familiarity and confidence with using ICS for any scenario, and yes, that includes LE-specific incidents and events. The decisions made during those first critical minutes will shape the organizational successes and challenges that follow.

Critical Incident Management for Tactical Responders is a two-day scenario-based training (SBT) course designed to help frontline law enforcement leaders effectively manage rapidly expanding incidents using proven Incident Command System (ICS) principles. With a simple internal policy change, this course could be used to satisfy the grant requirements that currently require frontline LE supervisors to complete ICS 300.

Developed in cooperation with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), this training builds upon a program that has already been used to train hundreds of federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers.

Designed for field supervisors and first-line leaders, CIMTR focuses on practical application through realistic scenarios, interactive discussions, and leadership exercises.

Participants will learn to:

• Strengthen command, direction, and coordination efforts
• Apply ICS principles during rapidly emerging incidents
• Develop and communicate the leader's intent
• Recognize when command transfer is necessary
• Execute effective transfer of command procedures
• Demonstrate crisis leadership skills in dynamic environments

The course is POST-certified in the State of Nevada, allowing officers to receive continuing education credit. We will also work with host agencies and state credentialing authorities to pursue CE credit approval in other states.

This is not traditional classroom ICS instruction. It is practical leadership training built specifically for law enforcement professionals who may be called upon to manage critical incidents when seconds matter.

From two LE Sgt-level course participants:
"Most LEO/ICS-related course I have taken. Appreciated the relation to my job (LEO) using ICS."
"Excellent instruction. Very well-informed instructors. Great scenarios. Great LEO-based course."

Complex incidents do not become manageable because one person has all the answers. They become manageable when experienced leaders create clarity, establish priorities, and bring people together around a common mission.

The 2027 IMTA Symposium is designed for professionals who lead when conditions are uncertain, organizations are under pressure, and the stakes are real.

The national preparedness level dropped to PL1 today at 7:30 a.m. MDT due to these factors:

🔥Geographic areas can accomplish incident management objectives utilizing local resources with little or no national support. There is little risk of drawing down capability in any geographic area to support incident operations.
🔥Conditions are not favorable to support significant wildland fire activity in most geographic areas.
🔥Resource capability is adequate with little or no mobilization of resources occurring through NICC.
🔥Potential for emerging significant wildland fires is expected to remain minimal.

Why join the All-Hazards Incident Management Teams Association (AHIMTA)?

"I believe being a member of AHIMTA is important for many reasons. The networking opportunities are amazing. When disasters strike, I love to see teams responding that consist of people that developed relationships at our annual symposium. Membership makes our association strong, which enables the association to advocate for AHIMTs with governments. A strong membership also helps the association develop products that our members can use in their AHIMT role."

Dr. Randal A. Collins, CEM
President, All-Hazards Incident Management Teams Association, Inc.

Joining is surprisingly affordable. Membership is only $75 per year. AHIMTA is doing fantastic work on behalf of All-Hazards Incident Management Teams across the county.

E0289 State Volunteer and Donations Management

Managing volunteers and donations during a large-scale disaster is a critical part of effective incident management and recovery operations. This FEMA course teaches participants how to develop and administer a statewide Volunteer and Donations Management Program capable of coordinating:
• Unaffiliated volunteers
• Unsolicited donated goods
• Offers of undesignated cash assistance
Participants will gain practical tools and planning templates designed to strengthen coordination between government agencies, voluntary organizations, and nonprofit partners while improving continuity across jurisdictions.
This training is especially valuable for:
• State Volunteer/Donations Coordinators
• VOAD partners
• Public Information Officers
• Human Services personnel
• Government-Private Sector Liaisons
• Emergency Management personnel
• Tribal, territorial, state, and local responders

The course also provides insight into FEMA’s volunteer and donations management responsibilities and helps strengthen relationships between government and nonprofit organizations before disaster strikes.

Recovery is influenced by decisions made while response is still underway.

Transition planning, continuity, public trust, infrastructure needs, and long-term community impacts cannot wait until the incident is over.

The 2027 IMTA Symposium will bring together professionals who understand the full arc of incident management, from initial response through stabilization, transition, and recovery.
