    forming, by the controller, a group comprising second subscriber units out of the plurality of subscriber units meeting one of the plurality of required responder types and a set of one or more location-based group formation rules, for responding to the defined location; and

    determining, by the controller, if second subscriber units in the formed group meet the determined plurality of required responder types for responding to the defined location;

    if it is determined that second subscriber units in the formed group do not meet the determined plurality of required responder types for responding to the defined location;

    modifying the set of one or more location-based group formation rules and re-forming, by the controller, the group comprising second subscriber units meeting one of the plurality of required responder types and the modified set of one or more location-based group formation rules, for responding to the defined location; and

    causing, by the controller, one or more of audio and data transmitted by the one of the first subscriber unit and the dispatch console to be provided to the second subscriber units in the re-formed group; and

    if it is determined that second subscriber units in the formed group do meet the determined plurality of required responder types for responding to the defined location;
