The team is governed by the Special Operations Joint Policy Board and administratively supported by the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency (ESCA) of Snohomish County.

The Technical Rescue Operations Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings with representatives for operations, training, and equipment. The committee's objective is to provide assistance for any technical situation that may arise within the Counties scope of emergency response, including diverse industrial operations.
