Creating an account

Friday, 17 October 2008 00:00 administrator

Sorry guys, Forum will be down for a few hours for repair.

Just a reminder

When creating an account the Division Code is your team's 4 digit code that was selected by your Team Leader or Sgt.

When you create an account it will send you an e-mail to the email address you provided. You activate the account by clicking on the link in the e-mail.

After that you login by writing you Username.

Your user name is the abbreviated version of your dept's name in capitals that you see on the create an account page followed by a hypen then the username you provided in the create account section.

In my case it is DURH-Cobb.

Then plug in your personal password.

It is the password you provided in the create an account section as well.

Waterloo, Niagara, and The Soo will be added to the list shortly if not already.

Good luck.

Sample image Quarterly Meeting

Hats off to Hamilton Tactical's Sgts' Mark Stiller and Scott Balinson for their informative presentation on a massive 17 hour Joint Response Exercise in Hamilton.

It involved RCMP ERT, Hamlition and Niagara Tactical, EDU, Marine Unit, Incident command as well as Hamilton Port Authority, CN Rail, EMS, Fire Dept and Tactical HAZMAT teams.

Scenarios included explosive devices of Biological, and Standard fuel bomb nature. They were located in a train car, and large tugboat. Scenarios included negotiations, sniper deployment, officer down rescue of civilians and ended with 3 simultaneous EFE's and hostage rescue entries.

160 players, including role players, uniform officers, CN workers, Incident Command, HRT teams, Bomb techs. ...the list goes on. Many lessons learned.

Many thanks to Halton (TRU)s' own Sergeant Jeff Sandy on an excellent presentation of a 2007 armed person incident. The incident in which Jeff and his Team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism under stress. The incident is still quite fresh from a legal perspective and Jeff asked us to be discret as possible with the info. Hopefully he will be available in future to present again for those who missed it.

Next Quarterly meeting to be hosted by Durham Regional.

Date: 3rd week of January 2009

Time and location to be confirmed.
