I too appreciate the attention Communicators are being provided and thank you.  Additionally, agree that information needs to be included about Fire/Rescue.  Although every agency doesn't dispatch them, having an understanding is valuable to the overall knowledge of how each discipline works together. 

I’ll be taking a different approach and commenting on the specific objectives:

1.1.1 - Needs to be broken down to specify the historical development for consistency.  (1.1.1.1, etc)

1.1.2.2 - Training Standards (Add for Whom)

1.3.3 and 1.3.4  Demonstrate and or …….

1.4.1.4.1.3 – set time limits as needed (to vague of an objective)

1.4.4.2.2 – Avoid being evasive or playing games

1.4.2 – Demonstrate and identify how to manage 4 or more specialized calls.  (If every one needs to be conducted then definitely consider moving 1.4.2.9 under 1.5.6.1.10)

1.4.2.4.2 – Remove all together (Asking a 3rd party to assist at a scene could have logistically and legal ramifications.)

1.4.2.7 – Unable to identify exact location of call

1.4.2.6 and 1.4.2.8 – Can be merged together; all silent and open calls should be challenged for TTY/TDD

1.4.2.9.5 – Explain Instructions to caller (This is a basic class with limitation on the time-frame of scenarios, this may be handled better in a test.  Consider bring Active Shooter to a CE class).

1.4.3.3 – Establish……and the level of response.  (Most levels of response are dictated by the responder.)

1.5.3.1.1.7 – head to toe (add outside/in) description

1.5.3.2.5.1 Unusual markings on the vehicle

1.5.4.4; 1.5.4.5 and 1.5.4.6 – Needs to be removed and added to the OTJ –

1.5.4.8 – Release resources and

1.9  - If being required to provide the ICS-700 and ICS-100 certification then all of 1.9 should be removed.  If not, then consider removing the Note portion (certificates of completion).

2.1.1.2 and 2.1.1.3 – Consider combining to Non-emergency / routine LE responses.

3.4.1.1 – Add Permitted and Not-Permitted under Arrest Warrants

a. Arrest Warrant (p 32) broken down too much; not all agencies are the holder of warrants.

5.203 – Attend a VCIN/NCIC Certification Course and attain……….The agency shall produce VSP approved documentation of successful completion of the course.  (The VSP is going to an on-line certification course, confirm the agency will receive confirmation.  This statement may need to be modified or removed.)
