I would like to attend alert training.

Monitoring radio traffic to get a better understanding of how many moving parts area actually in place during a large scale incident, and how those operations are supposed to function on the PD/FD/EMS side.

Area command, only because it is not something that I as a dispatcher would necessarily be concerned with.

Please provide any other comments or suggestions you have for improving this course.

As a dispatcher, I feel as though a bit more emphasis could be put on the tasks that we as dispatchers do behind the scenes. EX. actually having to determine which mutual aid resources to to send from where, and what capabilities are required vs available. For this most of our decision making was determined by the board, as opposed to testing that decision making during complex incidents.

What other training is most important to you now that you have completed this course?

I would like to complete ALEERT training, as I have not had the opportunity yet.
