Summary/abstract:
  • The problem was a fire investigation task force was being considered for development without agency needs and components of a task force being identified. Descriptive research was used to identify the needs and components of a task force by answering the following questions: a) what is the current fire investigation capability of Thurston County fire and police agencies? b) how effectively are fire investigators currently being conducted within the county? c) what would be the fiscal impact of implementing a fire investigation task force? d) what are the components of an effective fire investigation task force? Based on the findings, it was recommended that a task force be formed and various administrative and organizational components be implemented.
