Desktop Planning Exercises

Desktop planning scenarios are classroom (online and real-life) exercises that test leadership, information gathering and decision making. Here we have a tabletop exercise that works just as well online as in the classroom. We have included a presentation as Google slides which show the student-facing information organised as a set of slides. It incorporates the videos and the maps that are also here separately so that a new exercise could be devised using these elements. It gives one template of how you could take a classroom desktop planning exercise into an online small group and the toolkit gives more information on how it might work and where it fits into the Protective Services curriculum.
