~~x SnntaAuaPoliceDepnrhtteel Ltleropernbility~ Comttnuticnliotts Cottsrdlittg, Plrnse77 One Mission, Yovrs GTSI-IO--72549 vI.0 The GTSI Team will analyze the SPA's needs and identify training goals. The SPA will need a standardized training course that is generally accepted across the SPA and meets the requirements defined by the Urban /Operational Areas within the SPA. The training goals should equip the learner's with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the SPA and individual organization's needs. The goals should also identify who should attend the training and a time frame to conduct the training. The training will be submitted for approval to the Department of Homeland Secur it H y (D S) because federal grant fiords are being used to fund the project. The course will also be submitted to a state sponsor, e.g. P.O.S.T., for approval. Once the course is developed it will be presented to training oversight agencies, such as Peace Officers Standards and Training or various Fire Chief's Associations, to be included as pact of academy curriculum for newly hired public safety personnel. This would reduce the need for additional training once the selected learner's were taught the initial course. The training course could also serve as a state and national model for interoperable communications training once the curriculum tivas established, approved and certified by DHS. Based on information gathered during the requirements definition process, the GTSI Team 4vi11 be prepared to provide an additional two user courses in addition to those identified below. The following deliverables would be completed far communications interoperability user courses for field and a communications/ dispatch center users: • Law Enforcement -The GTSI Team will develop for the SPA a SEMS~IIVIS/ ICS compliant standardized course for initiating/ implementing communications in#eroperability for Law enforcement Public Safety dispatch and field users which will enable them to understand and implement interoperable communications tivhen required. The curriculum will provide basic knowledge and practical skills in mutual aid communications, intra and inter agency, between conventional and trunked systems; and conventional mutual aid communications from outside the operational area and SPA. Additionally mutual aid communication curriculum will utilize existing mutual aid agreements and applicable communication standard operating procedures and standards, to create a baseline of core communication capabilities. WHS will approach this task by developing a logical set of standard interoperable communications training topics and knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to effectively use and or provide interoperable communications capabilities. At the core of this process are the questions of what standard operation procedures, skills and knowledge are present and what standard operation procedures, skills and knowledge are needed or desired. WH5 will ensure that National best practices are incorporated into each course. • Fire/EMS -The GTSI Team will develop for the SPA a SEMS/NIrVfS/ ICS and NFP 1221 compliant standardized course for• initiating/ implementing communications interopecability for Fire and/or' EMS dispatch and field users which will enable them to understand and implement interoperable communications when required. The curriculum will provide basic knowledge and practical skills in mutual aid communications, intra and inter agency, between conventional and trunked systems; and conventional mutual aid communications from outside the operational area and SPA. Additionally mutual aid communication curriculum will utilize existing mutual aid agreements and applicable communication standard operating procedures and standards, to create a baseline of core -Il- GTSI Confrdential m:d Proprtetmy.
