Tactical decision development (TDD) provides a means for enhancing the critical emergency decisionmaking capabilities of California law enforcement command officers.
Abstract
Based on historical data and future projections, an image of the field commander in emergency situations is developed and the necessary skills and technologies for good decisions are identified. A strategic plan calls for the development of a California Center for TDD that would provide technologically advanced training that combines gaming, artificial intelligence, computer-assisted instruction, expert systems, and automated simulations. Guidelines for such a center cover philosophy, mission, goals, strategy, organization, process, oversight, management, the facility, and budget and funding sources. Figures, 54 footnotes and 62 references.
