Incident Commander: Crisis Response Training

Incident Commander, developed by the National Institute of Justice, and the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, is a PC-based software simulation that models real-world situations within a community, allowing for training at the management level to a critical incident.

The simulation offers a realistic representation of crisis management with realistic scenarios, realistic time delays and realistic resource limitations all set in the arena of the players' local region.

Focusing on smaller (less than 500,000 residents) jurisdictions, players can experience a school hostage situation; a natural disaster and a possible terrorism incident, while you fill the shoes of the "incident commander" and his or her Operations team.

Multiple simultaneous roles for player interaction will be available allowing independent action in any role or as a part of a group of players over the Internet or on a local network. Solo play is also possible.
