Incident Command and Multi‑Agency Coordination for Security Leaders
Course Code: 1A15 Incident Command and Multi-Agency Coordination Duration: 10 Modules – Approximately 12 hours Accreditation: Board Certified

This course is a prerequisite requirement for 1P13 Crisis Negotiation and Behavioral Intervention – Level I

Course Overview

Emergencies today unfold faster, strike harder, and demand a level of leadership that goes far beyond traditional security duties. Active threats, structural failures, mass-casualty events, and multi-agency responses involving police, fire, EMS, and municipal emergency management now require security professionals to operate with the same discipline, clarity, and coordination as public-safety agencies.

This university-approved program was built to meet that reality.

Developed in collaboration with global security directors, certified ICS/NIMS instructors, emergency-management planners, and incident command subject matter experts, this course delivers the exact competencies required to lead confidently during high-pressure events. Every module is grounded in authoritative North American emergency-management doctrine—including FEMA, NIMS, Public Safety Canada, provincial IMS frameworks, NFPA standards, and real operational case studies.

Learners are immersed in realistic scenarios, tactical decision-making, communication under stress, and multi-agency coordination—the same principles used by police, fire, EMS, and emergency-management professionals across the United States and Canada. The result is a transformative learning experience that elevates security supervisors and managers into credible, ICS-aligned incident leaders capable of stabilizing chaos, supporting Unified Command, and protecting lives.

This is not a basic security course. This is the professional standard.
