Appendix 19

FT-2800 operating at a lower power level and the RACES Activity to the FT-2600. We

need to continue experimenting with this to find the best mix of radio/antennas to

resolve this on-going problem. The limits of physical space on top of the truck make

this a challenge.

Each mission allows team members to learn new skills or refresh seldom used skills.

This mission was no exception providing opportunities to work with the mapping

software to learn additional features and learning how to quickly format the IC 309

Communications form.

4. COMMENTS

A family member related to the victims was also introduced into the communications

van during the mission by a senior SO Officer and was allowed to remain. This is

against our normal procedures and considered to be a bad idea to allow any family

members or members of the press to remain in the communications van while we are

trying to run operations. Fortunately the rescue went smoothly but I would ask the

Sheriff’s Office SAR Coordinator’s assist us in keeping the communication van relatively

free of non essential personnel. It gets pretty hectic in the van during missions and

extended stays by non essential personnel adds further noise and confusion to the

effort. I extend my thanks to Gene Wheeler for recognizing this situation and bringing

the DUI van out from Sierra Vista and moving the crowd out near the end of the

mission.

5. ACTION ITEMS

1 – Request that the issue of the laptop screen be moved up in priority.
