A gold–silver–bronze command structure is used by emergency services of the United Kingdom to establish a hierarchical framework for the command and control of major incidents and disasters. The so-called "platinum control" is government level (COBR).〔()〕 Some practitioners use the term strategic–tactical–operational command structure instead, but the different categories are equivalent.〔(London Emergency Services Liaison Panel: Major Incident Procedure Manual 8th ed (accessed 5 Dec 2014) )〕 Whilst this system does not explicitly signify hierarchy of rank, with the roles not being rank-specific, invariably the chain of command will be the same as the order of rank. Whilst the gold–silver–bronze command structure was designed for emergencies, it has been utilised for all manner of planned operations, such as football matches, or firearms operations, such as Operation Kratos. ==History== The structure was created by the UK Metropolitan Police Service in 1985 directly after a serious riot in North London on the evening of 6 October where Police Constable Keith Blakelock was murdered. Scotland Yard soon realised that their usual rank-based command system was inappropriate for sudden events. For example, it was never clear who was actually in operational charge of the police that night. A small team, including Inspector Peter Power quickly decided that three essential roles were more important than numerous ranks in these situations and set about creating and promulgating a new structure that was soon rolled out across all UK Police Forces and became the ubiquitous command standard it is today. The title 'Gold Silver Bronze' command structure was invented by David Stevens, who was then a Chief Superintendent in the Public Order Branch at Scotland Yard. Power was the member of a small team of specialists (with Stevens) at Scotland Yard, who detailed the system and became its chief architect/promulgator. The concept of Operational, tactical and strategic command levels has been in existence for many years, only the titles have changed. The concept and explanations of it have been reinforced since the introduction of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 . The so-called "platinum" title is not widely acknowledged. It was debated during the early years of the CCA but discounted. The level above Gold used to include regional government offices as a conduit to Westminster until they were disbanded as part of the Coalition reviews. Ministerial involvement will usually be fed in and responded to via one of the blue-light agencies, inevitably due to their role as defined by the CCA, the police gold commander 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gold–silver–bronze command structure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
