The purpose of this research is to identify ways that the City of Hagerstown can develop an incident management team for an incident which may escalate to a large scale. The descriptive research method will be used to identify ways to develop a local-level incident management team. Through an extensive literature, a review of policies and procedures from other jurisdictions, and internal questionnaire, and an external questionnaire, the researcher will identify ways to develop an effective local-level incident management team. The identification and training of team members, and their participation in joint exercises prior to the actual incident were recommended, along with methods of developing key aspects of the team; joint participation, communication, and trust.
