Procedure
This Procedure has been divided in three levels of operation:
Level 1 – —————,
Level 2 – —————-
and Level 3 – ————–. Whether an incident is
a Level 1, 2 or 3 will be determined by proper assessment and the application of identified criteria.
Depending upon the circumstances, the emergency response can begin at any one of the three levels, and ————the steps in the previous levels.

Emergency Planning
The Service has enhanced its emergency planning ability by the creation of the Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC). The EPC is mandated to increase the emergency ———–; p———, m———-, r———- to and r————- from emergency incidents.
To achieve this mandate, the EPC has established sub-committees reflective of the Incident Management System (IMS):
P————, H———— and Safety, I———–, O——-, P———-, L———–, and A———- and Finance. (All part of the chart)
—————————- plays an integral role in the EPC as their members are active in each of the sub–committees.
The EPC also works closely with external ———-promoting emergency preparedness and positively contributing to a ————-emergency response as required.

Incident Management System (IMS)
The IMS is based on a doctrine enacted by the ———- that recommends IMS as the ——————- in Ontario. The ————— has adopted the IMS as the recommended emergency preparedness system for Ontario police services

IMS
The IMS will be utilized in conjunction with the ——————-and can be integrated with other policies and procedures, as required. The IMS creates a clear point of control and can be ———- or contracted with ease in any size or type of emergency to manage response p——–, f———– and e—————–.
The basic modules of the IMS can be expanded or contracted to meet the requirements of the incident as it progresses.
Implementation of the IMS is recommended for all emergency responders in Ontario thereby ensuring an effective and co-ordinated emergency response to large-scale and complex emergency incidents. Chapter 10 – Appendix A provides a detailed chart of the IMS model.

Although the first member on scene assumes the role of Incident Commander, the Service has established a ——— of trained Incident Commanders, capable of assuming incident ———whenever called upon to do so. As well, ———, a sub–unit of EM&PO, is staffed by members who respond to and assist in the management of Level 2 – Major Incidents and Level 3 – Disaster Incidents.

Undertaking a strategic role, the Major Incident Command Centre (MICC) may be activated for ————————-emergencies and should be staffed according to the ————– of the event. Such staffing will include an officer of sufficient training, ———- to access and redirect personnel and material support as required, as well as liaise with other policing partners and external agencies. It is recommended that once activated, staffing for command and control should follow the IMS in compliance with Chapter 10 – Appendix A.
Although the IMS may be ———in response to planned events, the directions in this Procedure are intended for response to ——— emergencies
