Incident Commander was a title utilized by the Coruscant Security Force during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. It was given as a temporary designation to the officer placed in charge of a major police operation, regardless of the officer's rank. The Incident Commander had control of all police resources at the scene of the incident and was in charge of planning all negotiations. The commander also had final say on tactical options. During the Galactic City Spaceport hostage crises in 22 BBY, CSF Lieutenant Dovel was the designated Incident Commander.
