E. In compliance with the National Incident Management System / Incident Command System, one supervisor will be requested and assigned for every five officers. Thus, if the initial call-out is for 15 officers, the Bureau of Communications will attempt to acquire three supervisors. Those supervisors will not be counted among the fifteen. In the event supervisors cannot be acquired, the number of officers will not be changed and the requesting officer will be advised. F.

Dispatchers will poll those agencies geographically within close proximity to the requesting agency. Input from those department s commanders and supervisors should be used to determine those numbers. In the initial phase of Code 1000 activation, the originating Department has the option of asking for either 15 or 25 officers. B. If the incident requires more officers than the initial request to maintain law and order, the initiating agency should specify a Code 2000. This will cause the Bureau of Communications to poll additional agencies until twenty-five additional officers are pledged to assist. Successive progressions or activation phases will increase the complement of responding officers by twenty-five at each level. C. If an incident requires additional officers after the initial call-out, the Bureau of Communications will notify assisting agencies that have not been previously contacted. Agencies committing resources to the initial incident response will not be asked to provide additional assistance. D. Assisting agencies participating in the Code 1000 operation will make all internal agency notifications deemed necessary by their Chief. Each assisting agency will notify the Bureau of Communications via the Regional Justice Information System (REJIS), of the names and department serial numbers of the officers responding from their agency. Updated lists will be provided as any additional agency representatives respond at later times. Personnel information will be forwarded to the Staging area supervisor. E.
