The dispatcher from the <br />Redwood City Police Department will then initiate a callout of the team's <br />members. <br /> <br />Tactical Scene Control: <br /> <br />Tactical command of the team will be under the authority of the Tactical <br />Commander unless the Incident Commander decides to the contrary. Incident <br />command of the event will be under the authority of the agency where the event is <br />taking place. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />.~.... ".-"T <br />
