The Nevada TIM Training is built on the National TIM Responder Training Program, developed by responders for responders.  It was designed to establish the foundation for and promote consistent training of all responders to achieve the three objectives of the TIM National Unified Goal (NUG):

  • Responder Safety
  • Safe, Quick Clearance
  • Prompt, Reliable, Interoperable Communications

The 4-Hour TIM course is intended to provide participating first responders the knowledge and materials necessary for clearing critical incidents as quickly as possible and reducing secondary crashes. Scene safety, communication, and relationship building will be emphasized in a multi-agency training approach with highly qualified instructors from multiple law enforcement agencies, fire agencies, NDOT, towing, and private sector emergency writing paper responders. The course structure will consist of 4 hours of training with credit for engineering and Post Law.
