The Staging Kit is designed to clearly identify and control staging areas during chaotic incidents.
A clearly marked staging location allows responding resources to immediately identify where they need to report to receive assignments, rather than self-deploying. This reduces freelancing, improves accountability, and allows command staff to deploy resources efficiently and in an organized manner.
• 20-foot telescoping flag pole with tire-mounted base for rapid deployment
• High-visibility orange staging flag for immediate scene recognition
• (2) orange staging vests for supervisors or first-arriving officers
• (2) heavy-duty full sized clipboards for school layouts, documentation, and resource tracking
• Documentation tools to support staging and ICS operations (four-pack of white window markers)
• Transport-ready STAGING deployment bag designed for patrol vehicle storage and immediate identification
Designed for rapid deployment by a single officer, the tire-mounted staging flag system allows immediate establishment of a clearly identifiable staging area without specialized tools or additional personnel.
The base plate is secured under the front tire of a patrol vehicle, providing a stable mounting platform. The telescoping pole fully extends up to 20 feet, allowing the high-visibility STAGING flag to be seen from long distances, day or night.
This system enables incoming resources to quickly identify where to report for assignments, reducing confusion, preventing freelancing, and allowing command staff to maintain control and accountability during critical incidents.
