CITIFIELD RETIREE MOBILIZATION TRAINING SEMINAR
On Saturday, October 23, 2010, the NYPD Personnel Bureau conducted a second training seminar on Points of Distribution (PODs) with members of the Retiree Mobilization Plan. The training was conducted at Citifield, home of the New York Mets Baseball Team
.
The POD drill was conducted on the large parking facilities of Citifield. The RMP members were split up into two groups and presented with scenarios for the establishment of PODs. The practical
application of setting up PODs showed the retirees what the problems would be in actual PODs. The flow of traffic and logistical methods used to deliver large amounts of supplies and their distribution
became obvious to the trainees. In a real critical incident, the members of the RMP will be mobilized
and report to the staging officer at the “check-in” in the Staging Area. As members of the RMP they are being trained for service with the Logistics Section Chief
.
The principal duties of the Logistics Section under the Incident Command System include
supplying the NYPD responders with communications equipment, food, other needed equipment, maintainance of facilities that support those tasks, and the ground support.
In large scale incidents, the
NYPD Logistics Section will perform their duties in cooperation with the FDNY Logistics Section Chief
and other organizations in a Unified Command structure. A working knowledge of how to establish PODs is critical to the mission of the RMP.
