CDP releases non-resident, indirect training numbers for February

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

According to the data, the CDP conducted 19 non-resident courses for 304 responders and three indirect courses for 71 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 19 non-resident deliveries during February included delivery of the CDP’s Field Force Operations course to members of the Rhode Island State Police and law enforcement refresher training to members of the New York City Police Department’s Counter-Terrorism Unit.

The three indirect training deliveries, meanwhile, consisted of delivery of the CDP’s Standardized Awareness Training course to police academy recruits in Detroit, Michigan, and delivery of the center’s Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents course to medical specialists in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and St. Petersburg, Florida.

During 2020, the CDP delivered non-resident courses to nearly 20,000 responders and indirect training to nearly 5,000 responders.

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