Not wanting to delay this process any further, but I would like to comment on the requirement for all CSOs to complete the Introduction to ICS for Higher Ed (IS-100.HE).  

State institutions are required to use the NIMS/ICS system for emergency management, but private institutions are not.  My institution still uses a non-FEMA compliant Emergency Plan and the requirement for my officers to complete IS-100.HE is not cost effective for us (overtime, as the course takes a number of hours to complete and we cannot pull an officer off of patrol for that long a period while on duty).  Maybe the wording can be changed to only be required IF the institution uses the NIMS/ICS system.  Leave it up to the institution to decide like the First Aid requirement.

Thanks.
