Happening NEXT WEEK: Multi-agency interoperability and mass casualty events webinar

A message from our publisher

Police, fire and paramedics need to respond and work together during many types of incidents, with large-scale events like an explosion, active shooter, or terrorist attack being amongst the most high stakes and high profile calls. Beginning with an overview of the current state of multi-agency interoperability, this webinar will draw upon the lessons and strategies incorporated by the UK system with regards to tactical response and preparedness, combining these two elements into a case study of possibilities for increased interoperability and collaboration.

This webinar is being brought to you by Blue Line magazine and Fire Fighting in Canada.
