greenops011 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 So this is a thread to talk about your area's public safety agency response protocols. This includes Fire department, EMS, and police, as well as multi-agency (tiered) response. We all know different jurisdictions have different protocols, so it's interesting to see what the different protocols are for your area.To keep the thread clean, please use the following format City/Area name [spoiler][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
