Department Outcomes
How CTS can support your training program
CTS products and services can support officer development, incident command training, instructor preparation, and follow-up training.

Improve
Program review and follow-up

Stations, apparatus and staffingWhat resources are available, how they are staffed, and how quickly they can realistically respond.
Response plans and mutual aidRun cards, automatic aid, mutual aid, escalation, and specialized resources.
Policy and department expectationsLocal SOP/SOG structure, reporting expectations, role assignments, and department-approved overlays.
