Learn How to Prepare for an EMAC Law Enforcement Mission
EMAC, in cooperation with the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), the Major County Sheriffs' of America Association (MCSA), and National Sheriffs Association developed the first EMAC Tips for Law Enforcement document in 2006 after utilization of law enforcement during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.
The tips were updated after incorporating lessons learned from 2016 and 2017.
