CDP releases non-resident, indirect training numbers for September
CDP has released its non-resident and indirect training numbers for August.
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness has released its non-resident and indirect training numbers for September.
The CDP conducted 43 non-resident courses for 1,278 responders and 50 indirect courses for 743 responders during the month, it said.
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 that course’s associated train-the-trainer course.
The majority of non-resident training consisted of law enforcement courses delivered to members of Texas’ Department of Public Safety; the Wellington, Florida, police department; and to recruits at the New York City and City of Los Angeles police academies.
The indirect training included the CDP’s Hazardous Materials Awareness; Hospital Emergency Response Training for CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives) Incidents; Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics; and Standardized Awareness courses delivered to firefighters, medical specialists and law enforcement officers in Hollywood, Florida; Dearborn, Michigan; Lubbock and Waco, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; Modesto and San Francisco, California; and Spokane, Washington.
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.
