CDP finalizing VILT for LE leaders
The CDP is putting the final touches on its new Public Order and Public Safety – Executive Course.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) is putting the final touches on its new Public Order and Public Safety – Executive (POPS-E) Course, which is scheduled for release later this year.
The eight-hour offering is geared at law enforcement supervisors and upper-level managers. Its six modules cover such things as the legal rights of protesters, basic crowd management and de-escalation tactics.
The course will be delivered primarily in the CDP’s Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) format, which is currently reserved for select cohorts, or groups of organizations within the same community, county or state who work together in emergencies.
POPS-E is being developed with input and assistance from the National Institute of Justice’s Special Technical Committee and FEMA’s Office of Law Enforcement and Integration.
