CDP releases non-resident, indirect training numbers for November

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

According to the data, the CDP conducted 25 non-resident courses for 967 responders and 4 indirect courses for 93 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 29 combined non-resident and indirect courses in November 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 and hazardous materials specialists.

They were delivered at sites across the nation - from Flushing, New York; Sea Grit, New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Harrisonburg, Virginia; and Jackson Springs, North Carolina; to Houston, Texas; Austin, Texas; Cochise, Arizona; and Granada Hills, California.  

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.
