Simply stated, the more realistically we practice and rehearse, the more likely we are to respond when a critical incident happens. Command School TTX is a leading nationally recognized developer and facilitator of emergency preparedness and response tabletop exercises. The tabletop exercise prepares law enforcement officers by providing the basic technical and conceptual skill practice necessary to take control, supervise and manage fast breaking critical incidents.

In any of the all-hazard incidents to which law enforcement officers respond, they will have to interact and communicate other response and civilian disciplines. Hands-on response exercising in accordance with the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) helps achieve a desired incident outcome. The Command School TTX facilitators are incident-tested, cross-discipline professionals who will help develop the skills that are applicable to most critical incidents.

The law enforcement professional will learn ICS, an emergency management concept which can be used to manage any emergency, from a small incident to a large civil disturbance. ICS is an "all-risk" system appropriate for any type of emergency. This system does not erase the normal chain of command; instead, it is the temporary coordination of all response assets during a critical incident.
