First 30 Minutes: Incident Command / Unified Command Training

The Northern Virginia First 30 Minutes: Incident Command / Unified Command training is a multi-disciplinary training program focused on providing command-level skills to frontline law enforcement, fire/EMS, and emergency communications supervisors, as well as those who may act in those positions during an Active Violence Incident (AVI). The training leverages high-threat events to demonstrate best practice approaches for coordinated operations among the response disciplines, focusing specifically on the first 30 minutes of an event. This training may be used by local jurisdictions as a prerequisite for more advanced command competency training.
