Why is there a separate Mutual Aid Plan?
The CAPCO Mutual Aid Plan is designed to enumerate specific components of providing aid such as what types of resources are available to be shared, how will coordination of several simultaneous requests for aid be handled, what type of training will the responding personnel have, etc. These components may change as regional planning is enhanced or as inventories are adjusted, therefore the plan is a living document that will be frequently reviewed and updated and does not require elected officials signatures each time that may occur.
