CDP developing new public order policing course
CDP prepares to deliver a pilot iteration of its new Public Order and Public Safety, or POPS, Basic Course.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) is preparing to deliver a pilot iteration of its new Public Order and Public Safety, or POPS, Basic Course, in late 2023.
The POPS-Basic Course will provide law enforcement officers the essential information and skills needed to respond to a civil disturbance. It will become a key part of a multi-course public order policing training program the center is creating, incorporating various levels of instruction for new officers to law enforcement executives.
Once the course completes the pilot phase of development and is ready for implementation, it will be targeted at law enforcement officers who are at the beginning of their career.
