· Assess the situation.- You have to know what type of situation that you are dealing with to be able to handle it efficiently. You don’t want your officers running into a gun fight when its actually a fire. What kind of situation are we dealing with? How many suspects are involved? Where is it taking place. There are all things to consider when accessing the situation.
· Identify the danger zone. – Knowing where the danger zone is will keep the public out of harm’s way when dealing with the situation.
· Establish an inner perimeter. - This would be the location where only authorized people would be allowed. This allows for law enforcement agents to keep control on the situation at hand.
· Establish an outer perimeter. – I believe this falls along the same lines with the outer perimeter. This allows for some access to the safe parts.
· Establish the incident command post. – This will help with keeping control of the situation. All information would be streamlined to this location. This is critical as with a ICP, everyone knows where their information is coming to and they know exactly where to report.
· Establish the staging area. – Another critical piece because it allows a central location where resources can flow in and out of.
· Request additional resources. – This is critical because if additional resources are needed, law enforcement knows how or who to go to.
I believe that the NIMS & ICS policy philosophy is something that needs to be embraced by all of law enforcement as it can be looked to as a blueprint or better yet, a guideline to what needs to be done in case of catastrophe. Without this, it is easy for a critical piece to missed which could eventually result in more loss of lives

Assess the situation is the first critical task for law enforcement; being able to understand what the situation is immediate could save lives. Law enforcement will respond to a call for shots fired and have to determine if its an active shooter or something different. We see this during the Las Vegas shooting were Las Vegas police officers discovered they were dealing with an active shooter. The next task would be to identify the danger zones. The officer who becomes the Isdent commander will have to start mapping out the hot, warm, and cold zone so that Emergency responders understand where to go. You don't want fire arriving in the hot zone while an active shooter is being engaged. having the tools to complete this task is essential. "Watch commanders and lieutenants use command stations that contain dry-erase boards, markers, notepads, and folders containing checklists from the department's critical incident management guide for various situations"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). The inner perimeter has to be established before the outer perimeter to protect the local population and ensure no one goes into a hostile situation. Once the inner perimeter has been established, you can use additional resources to develop an outer perimeter. The outer perimeter will help with the standoff distance to the incident by using emergency recourse to bock off roads that will lead to the scene. During the ongoing situation, the incident command post is being set up." By managing the incident scene earlier and more effectively, officials may not need to request as many assets. They ultimately could demobilize the ones on the scene faster, thus, saving money for the taxpayer"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). Part of the Incident commander's responsibility will be setting up the staging area. The staging area allows the IC to know what resources are on-site and be able to dispatch those resources to the correct area to save lives and control the overall incident. Lastly, If the event develops into large-scale critical incidents, additional resources could be needed. Having mutual aid agreements with other outside agencies is crucial for successful responses to massive critical incidents.
The importance of the NIMS and ICS is not the structure, but it allows different agencies who are responding to understand the overall operation of the scene. "Breaking down the barriers that prevent organizations from using ICS is imperative today, when regional responses to significant incidents are becoming more common"(Phibbs & Snawder, 2014). Knowing other agencies' capabilities will benefit the overall incident and help first resonders.

the

-
You
have
to
know
what
type
of
situation
that
you
are
dealing
with
to
be
able
to
handle
it
efficiently.
You
don’t
want
your
officers
running
into
a
gun
fight
when
its
actually
a
fire.
What
kind
of
si
tuation
are
we
dealing
with?
How
many
suspects
are
involved?
Where
is
it
taking
place.
There
are
all
things
to
consider
when
accessing
the
situation.
·
Identify
the
danger
zone.
–
Knowing
where
the
danger
zone
is
will
keep
the
public
out
of
harm’s
way
when
d
ealing
with
the
situation.
·
Establish
an
inner
perimeter.
-
This
would
be
the
location
where
only
authorized
people
would
be
allowed.
This
allows
for
law
enforcement
agents
to
keep
control
on
the
situation
at
hand.
·
Establish
an
outer
perimeter.
–
I
belie
ve
this
falls
along
the
same
lines
with
the
outer
perimeter.
This
allows
for
some
access
to
the
safe
parts.
·
Establish
the
incident
command
post.
–
This
will
help
with
keeping
control
of
the
situation.
All
information
would
be
streamlined
to
this
location.
This
is
critical
as
with
a
ICP,
everyone
knows
where
their
information
is
coming
to
and
they
know
exactly
where
to
report.
·
Establish
the
staging
area.
–
Another
critical
piece
because
it
allows
a
central
location
where
resources
can
flow
in
and
out
of.
·
Req
uest
additional
resources.
–
This
is
critical
because
if
additional
resources
are
needed,
law
enforcement
knows
how
or
who
to
go
to.
I
believe
that
the
NIMS

ICS
policy
philosophy
is
something
that
needs
to
be
embraced
by
all

as
it
