In response to the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on law enforcement and other
first responders, the National Police Foundation (NPF), in
collaboration with the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG)
Foundation and Esri, has developed a real-time COVID-19 situational awareness tool for
law enforcement agencies. The tool, featuring a real-time dashboard,
provides critical insights for executives, commanders, administrators and other
decision-makers to better assess and monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our
nation’s first responders, including officer exposures, diagnoses, workforce
impacts, and personal protective equipment (PPE) needs and projections.
The interactive tool allows agencies to provide confidential, real-time updates that
are instantly incorporated into the national dashboard and map. The dashboard
identifies:
- number of officers exposed
- number of officers officially tested with a positive diagnosis
- number of officers placed in off-duty status due to exposure
- number of officers that are self-isolating due to symptoms or off-duty exposure
The dashboard also estimates the availability of necessary PPE, the most critical PPE that agencies are lacking, and current and projected shortages of PPE.
Basic EOC Training Materials
FREE
One of the many challenges facing all jurisdictions during the
COVID-19 response is the ongoing need to staff Emergency Operations Centers and
other coordination centers with trained personnel. We are all facing long-term
sustained operations with no outside relief anticipated.
Cal OES and the California Specialized Training Institute recognize that
jurisdictions at every level have an immediate need to train new staff to build
their EOC cadres. To help you meet that need, we have placed basic EOC training
materials online. These materials can be downloaded and used by your own
experienced staff to provide initial training for new EOC assignees.
We are also working to develop interactive online courses that individuals can
access directly and complete at their convenience. We will announce those as
soon as they are available.
