| Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response
|
|
August 6-8, 2012, St. Thomas |
|
August 15-17, 2012, St. Croix |
|
| Terrorism involving active shooter attacks on population centers has become part of law enforcement officers’ awareness; however, there is a significant difference between awareness and readiness. Increased awareness of a problem does not ensure preparedness or appropriate response tactics. This course addresses technical aspects of planning and implementing a rapid law enforcement deployment to an active shooter incident. This is achieved through classroom presentations, hands-on performance-based field training, and scenario-based practical exercises.
The target audience for this course includes state and local law enforcement personnel who will respond or support the response to any type of active shooter incident.
