CDP prepares for upcoming Law Enforcement National Security training

The Center for Domestic Preparedness’ 2026 Law Enforcement National Security Week will be held on the center’s Anniston, Alabama, campus the week of March 8 – 14.

The week of focused law enforcement training will begin with Law Enforcement Professional Development Day, followed by in-depth training tracks featuring training in multiple areas, including active threat response, mass casualty incident response and recovery, decontamination operations, civil disturbance mitigation and critical decision-making in an all-hazards event.

One training track incorporates the CDP’s Law Enforcement Protective Measures for Complex Incidents Course, which, paired with Intermediate Hands-On Training for CBRNE Incidents: Law Enforcement and Law Enforcement Response Actions for CBRNE Incidents, provides students with the knowledge and skills to safely perform law enforcement roles during incidents involving hazardous materials.

The training week will culminate in a hands-on, capstone exercise involving all students applying their newly acquired skills to resolve simulated scenarios involving protests, CBRNE incidents and terrorist threats in realistic training environments.

Special consideration will be given to those jurisdictions hosting or supporting World Cup events, the Olympics and the 2027 Super Bowl.

CDP training is completely funded for state, local, tribal and territorial emergency responders to include roundtrip airfare, meals, lodging, tuition and any equipment required during training.
