SWAT and Critical Incident Management Program

The OpTac International SWAT and Critical Incident Management Program is based on the soon to be released book, SWAT Operations and Critical Incidents: Why People Die written by Stuart A. Meyers, and includes his Harvard University award-winning research on the complexities of critical incident management. Law enforcement administrators, executive officers, incident and tactical commanders, and SWAT team personnel will benefit from an improved understanding of critical incident management, and its associated legal and liability concerns from both organizational and operational perspectives. Presentations include an analysis of contextual and hierarchy leadership, contemporary command decision-making, practical applications for incident management, and a model of essential organizational conditions to increase the consistent likelihood of successful incident outcomes.
