16 hour Basic Tactical Dispatcher October 18 and 19, 2026 -Hosted by 2026 CAL-APCO conference

This 16-hour course is being offered as a pre-conference course in partnership with California APCO.

Our Tactical Dispatch course is designed to prepare dispatchers to support field units as an essential component of a tactical response team and to prepare any dispatcher for the ever-increasing number of active, potentially multiple-casualty events. This highly interactive course is comprehensive, focusing on core tactical dispatch competencies and what to expect as events unfold rapidly. Course content includes a review of the Incident Command System, an introduction to SWAT terminology, and the roles and responsibilities of the various teams and team members.

During the final day, students will apply what they learned in this course and demonstrate the duties and responsibilities of a Tactical Dispatcher while completing a hands-on field application of their new skills.
