From natural disasters to contagious disease outbreaks, emergency medical responders and public health authorities must respond nimbly, resourcefully, and effectively to a wide variety of crisis scenarios. The members of Command’s medical and public health team apply their medical expertise and operational experience from the public and emergency health arms of the US military, the US Department of Homeland Security, and the White House in working with first response agencies, hospitals, public health groups, and other organizations to prepare for health events of all types and magnitudes.
Drawing on extensive operational experience at the highest levels of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as at an array of state- and local-level emergency management organizations, Command assists clients in preparing for, responding to, mitigating the impact of, and recovering from emergencies and disasters of all types. By facilitating interagency coordination, supporting emergency response plan development, increasing capacity among emergency response operators and officials, designing robust recovery operations, and leading after action reviews, Command helps strategists and operators across the emergency management spectrum to better prepare their communities and organizations for the unexpected.
From elementary schools to colleges and universities, educational institutions are part of the fabric of a free and open society. Unfortunately, centers of learning are not immune from horrific acts of violence, let alone the impacts of natural disasters or the effects of crime. Command’s school safety and security team is a multidisciplinary one that brings together experts from diverse practice areas – such as physical security, emergency management and school administration – to provide solutions specifically geared towards the educational environment. Bringing to bear their wide-ranging experience that includes extensive examination of school safety and security trends across the United States, our expert team helps schools of all sizes, cultures, and resource levels keep their students, teachers, and staff safe.
From high-profile conferences involving world political and business leaders to international sporting events, the logistical, safety, and security challenges faced by a host country or organization are immense. When the stakes are high, Command brings clients the individuals that have overseen the security and public safety operations for major events and public gatherings such as the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and a myriad of VIP meetings involving Heads of State and other dignitaries. Through a multidisciplinary approach that blends approaches from the physical security, intelligence, emergency preparedness, and executive protection realms, Command’s major event experts can help you prepare for the largest and most daunting of public safety situations.
In an age of advanced technology and increasingly complicated security frameworks, the human element remains the cornerstone of an effective public safety strategy. Made up of former leaders of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and other key law enforcement training directorates, the Command team works with clients across the security and law enforcement fields as they seek to improve the capacity of their personnel in a wide variety of roles. From general classroom refreshers to special operations training to exercise facilitation, Command helps its clients get the most out of their most important assets – their people.
Command’s public safety experts understand the multitude of challenges facing safety and security stakeholders across the public health and emergency management spheres. We help government authorities, law enforcement organizations, schools and universities, major event planners, and private sector organizations prepare for and respond to crises of all kinds.
