CRITICAL RESPONSE CONSULTING
BUILDING RESPONSE SYSTEM CONFIDENCE
Expert Guidance for Critical Incidents
Our 1st 60 Team Members bring extensive emergency service experience, enabling us to deeply understand critical incidents. We identify crucial gaps in current emergency response—often caused by agency silos, a misunderstanding of incident priority shifts, and unrealistic training. Our focus is to close these gaps and implement system changes that enhance overall emergency response to critical incidents.
About 1st 60
The initial response to a high-risk incident is paramount; a unified response is absolutely critical.
Recognizing significant response gaps between public safety agencies during critical incidents, a group of forward-thinking first responders from police, fire, and EMS established the concepts utilized by 1st 60. This same group has since designed and enacted successful training programs and systemic improvements, effectively connecting emergency response agencies with businesses in order to create the most complete response to critical incidents.
Insights in Action
"Members of 1st60 created the most realistic unified training that I have experienced in my law enforcement career. The unified command scenario taught me how to come together with other responders and how important collaboration with business stakeholders is to the successful mitigation of major incidents." Lt. Pate (Gastonia Police Department)

Training
1st 60 enables clients to select from a variety of training services, with a strong emphasis on Unified Command training and initial response. We provide emergency response agency and business stakeholders with the opportunity to hone their skills in highly realistic simulations. Recognizing the unique needs of each organization, clients can customize training parameters such as incident type and location with the inclusion of their existing response plans.
Command and Control - 1st 60
We provide unified command and control training centered on the crucial first hour of critical incidents. Our team collaborates with clients to develop tailored scenarios and deliver targeted training. This includes a command and control presentation, a unified command post demonstration, and practical scenario implementation for student exercises.
Airport Command and Control - 1st 60
This targeted course focuses on improving the understanding and execution of Unified Command at airports. A key component of this training is reinforcing the guidance provided in the draft Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5210-26 which highlights the importance of implementing robust incident management command and control during airport emergencies. Unified Command is essential in a complex airport environment, where incidents require swift and synchronized action by multiple agencies.
Airport Operations - 1st 60
This training specifically addresses airport operations staff, applying Incident Command System (ICS) principles to their unique role during airport emergencies. While often involved in on-site responses, airport operations personnel typically have limited interagency coordination experience, which this course aims to improve. Participants will gain significant confidence in their ability to respond to critical incidents through this course.
Exercise
Clients can leverage 1st 60s exercise evaluation services for independent, third-party assessments of their incident response exercises. By adhering to the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) framework, MissionPro guarantees the provision of highly effective and standardized evaluations. 1st 60 evaluation services are available to governing agencies and departmental leadership. Our evaluations will focus on ensuring realism is utilized in exercises.
Custom Exercise Production
1st 60 collaborates with clients to design and deliver a comprehensive range of exercises, from focused drills to full-scale simulations. By focusing on key realism elements, we create the clearest possible framework for accurate evaluation. Participants should leave exercises feeling the high level of realism achieved. MissionPro partners with clients to identify and overcome limitations that hinder accurate evaluations.
