CDP releases non-resident, indirect training numbers for December

The CDP this week released its non-resident and indirect training numbers for December.

According to the data, the CDP conducted 37 non-resident courses for 906 responders and 28 indirect courses for 321 responders during the month.

Non-resident courses are delivered by contract CDP instructors at locations across the United States. Indirect courses are delivered by volunteer responders to others in their organization, community, or both. The volunteer responders must be graduates of the courses they instruct as well as the CDP’s Instructor Training Course.            

The 65 total non-resident and indirect courses included a variety of CDP public order policing, medical and hazardous materials response courses presented to a variety of responders, from law enforcement recruits and officers to doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, firefighters and hazardous materials specialists.

They were delivered at sites across the nation, from Cleveland, Ohio; Jersey City, New Jersey; Baltimore, Maryland; and Lynchburg, Virginia, to Dickson, Tennessee; River Ridge, Louisiana; and Fargo, North Dakota.

Since opening in 1998, the CDP has trained more than 1.3 million responders. That number includes responders trained online, on the CDP’s campus in Anniston, Alabama, and at locations across the United States and its territories.
