It is applicable to small scale daily operational activities as well as major mobilizations. JCS provides a useful and flexible management system because of its standardized operational structure and common terminology. It is par ticularly adaptable to incidents involving multi-jurisdictional or multi-discipline respon ses. I CS provides the flexibility needed to rapidly activate and establish an organizational format. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB-March 1991 ' ICS OPERATING REQUIREMENTS 1-7/020.00 The following are operating requirements for the Incident Command System (ICS): 1. The system must provide for the following types of operation: a) Single jurisdiction responsibility/single agency involvement, b) Single jurisdiction responsibility with multi-agency involvement, c) Multi-jurisdictional responsibility with multi-agency involvement. 2. The system's organizational structure must be able to adapt to any emergency to which public safety agencies would be expected to respond. 3. The system must be applicable and acceptable to all user agencies. 4. The system must be able to expand in a rapid manner from an initial response into a major incident. It must be able to reduce its size just as readily as the organizational needs of the situation decrease. 5. The system must have common elements in organizational terminology and procedure which will allow maximum application. 6. Implementation of the ICS system should cause the least possible disruption to existing systems. 7. The system must be effective in fulfilling all of the above requirements and be simple enough to ensure ease of understanding. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB-March 1991 1-7/030.00 MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS The Incident Command System is constructed upon basic management concepts. These concepts provide the basis for an effective ICS operation: -Common terminology -Modular organization -Unified command structure -Consolidated action plan -Manageable span-of-control -Predesignated incident facilities -Comprehensive resource management -Integrated communications EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEP \RTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB-March 1991 1-7/030.05 COMMON TERMINOLOGY It is essential for any management system that common terminology is established for the following elements: Organizational Functions: Refers to a standard set of major functions, ( e.g.,Field Operations, Operations, Intelligence, Logistics and Finance) and functional units that have been predesignated for I CS. Resources: Refers to the combination of personnel and equipment mfod in tactical opera tions Facilities: Refers to common identifiers that are used for those facilities in and around the incide. nt area which will be used during the course of the incident. These facilities include the command post, staging areas, etc. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB-March 1991 1-7/030.10 MODULAR ORGANIZATION ICS's organi?.ational structure develops in a modular fashion, based upon the type and size of the incident. The organization"s, staff builds from the top down, with responsibility and performance placed initially with the Incident Commander. As the needs exist, five separate functional areas may be developed. Within each of the five separate functional areas, several branches may be established. The specific organizational structure is established for any given incident, and will be based upon the management needs of the incident. If one individual can simultaneously manage all major functional areas, no further organization is required. If one or more of the areas requires independent management, an individual will be named to be responsible for that area. Within the ICS., the first management assignments made will be made by the Incident Commander and will normally be one or more section Officer( s) In Charge ( QI C). Their purpose is to manage the specific functional areas. Section OICs will further delegate management authority for their areas as required. If the section OIC realizes the need, functional branches may be established within the section. Similarly, each functional branch leader will further assign individual tasks within the branch as needed. ·i.":' -~~ i:Y'~~\;""' ··----------------------------------- EMERGENCY C ""'ERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT INCIDENT COMM.

TIME RECORDER l l : I EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB~March 1991 ; UNIFIED COMMAND STRUCTURE The need for a Unified Command is brought about because: 1-07/030.15 1. Many incidents, such as riots, fires, floods and earthquakes, have no regard for jurisdictional boundaries. 2. Individual agency responsibility and authority is normally confined to a single jurisdiction. The concept of Unified Command simply means that all agencies, which have a jurisdic tional responsibility at a multi-jurisdictional incident, contribute to the process of: 1. Determining overall iocident objectives. 2. Selection of strategies and tactical activities. 3. Integrating appropriate tactical operations. 4. Making maximum use of all assigned resources. The proper selection of participants to work within a Unified Command structure will depend upon: 1. The location of the incident. e.g., Which _political jurisdictions are involved? 2. The kind of incident. e.g., Which functional agencies of the involved jurisdic tion( s) are required? A Unified Command structure would consist of a responsible official from each juris diction in a multi-jurisdictional situation; or, it would consist of a key responsible official from each of several functional Departments within a single political jurisdiction. Collective goals and strategies on major multi-jurisdictional incidents should be in writing. The goals and strategies will then guide development of the action plan. Under the Unified Command structure of the ICS, the implementation of the action plan is still accomplished under the direction of a single individual who has been designated as The Field Operations OIC. The Field Operations OIC will normally be from the agency which has the greatest jurisdictional involvement. Designation of the Field Operations OIC must be agreed upon by all agencies having jurisdictional and functional responsibilities at the incident. Theother jurisdictional agencies may be represented by deputies to the Field Operations OIC. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM PUB-March 1991 1-7/030.20· OPERATIONS PLAN (CONSOLIDATED ACTION PI.AN) Every incident needs an plan. For small incidents of short duration, the plan need not be written. The following are examples of when plans should be used: 1. When resources from multiple agencies are being used. 2. When several jurisdictions are involved. 3. When the incident will require changes in shifts of personnel and/or equipment. The Incident Commander will establish goals and determine strategies for the incident based upon the requirements of the jurisdiction. In the case of a unified command, the incident objectives must adequately reflect the policy needs of all jurisdictional agencies. The plan for the incident should cover all tactical and support activities for the opera tional period. NOTE: It should be noted that the term "Operations Plan" used by our Department and the term "Consolidated Action Plan" (seen in other agencies Incident Command System) are one in the same. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE 1-7 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS BUREAU EOP 1-7 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM MANAGEABLE SPAN OF CONTROL PUB-March 1991 1-7/030.25 Safety factors, as well as sound management planning, will influence and dictate span of-- control considerations. In general, the span-of-control of any individual with emer gency management responsibility, should range from three to seven subordinates, with an optimal span-of-control being five. The kind of incident, the nature of the task, hazards and safety factors, will influence span-of-control considerations. An important consideration in span-of-control, is to anticipate change and prepare for it. This is especially true during a rapid build-up of the organization when manage_ ment becomes difficult because of too many reporting elements. Planning is critical, at this point, to avoid runaway ordering of resources and thereby loosing effective span-of-control.

Strict accountability for all resources is essential and can be accomplished by: 1. A mandatory initial check-in procedure. 2. Assigning a current status condition to all resources. 3. Insuring that all changes in resource locations and status conditions are promptly reported to the appropriate functional unit. INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS 1-7/030.40 Communications systems require advance planning which will coordinate tactical and support resources through the use of an incident-based communications center. All radio communications among organizational elements at the incident should be accomplished in clear text.
