Janie Pinkston Sutton, Assistant Director of Field Operations – NCSBI
Freddie Johnson Jr., Captain of Field Operations - NCSHP

3. Planning Process
Planned, organized, and implemented by senior leadership from multiple agencies operating under Unified Command.
Complete buy-in from the top to the bottom that this was a major event for North Carolina and that it was going to be successful.
Governor McCrory
Secretary Perry
Commissioner Baker
I will admit that we were a little nervous about the Commissioner being the Incident Commander of a local event but we were open to the idea. My feelings are that an Incident Commander must serve three major functions to be successful.
A good IC must allow his Command Staff to do there job and not be a micro manager.
A good IC needs to manage the moral and keep all staff focused on the goal and objectives.
A good IC needs to make an educated, decisive, decision when requested by the Command Staff.
I can honestly tell you that Commissioner Baker is one of the best Incident Commanders that we have ever worked for and he is welcome in Moore County anytime.
