Incident Number Requests

The following procedure will be followed when requesting an Incident Number for an Event/Incident.  All requests for Incident/Event numbers SHOULD go through the appropriate RACES Deputy Chief or OES.  In the event you are unable to reach the RACES Deputy Chief, notify the RACES Chief.  If unable to reach either, you may then notify OES directly or through the Perris Station Duty Officer, if after normal working hours..

The following RACES members are authorized to obtain Event/Incident numbers:
