January CDP resident training now open for registration
The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) has released its resident training calendar for the month of January.
Law enforcement offerings include the CDP’s Field Force Extrication Tactics, Evidence Collection in a Hazardous Materials Environment and Field Force Operations courses.
Hazardous materials offerings include the center’s Hazardous Materials Operations, Hazardous Materials Technician, and Hazardous Materials Technologies: Sampling, Monitoring, and Detection courses.
Healthcare training during the month includes Emergency Medical Operations for CBRNE Incidents coupled with Intermediate Hands-On Training for CBRNE Incidents, Advanced Radiological Incident Operations, Barrier Precautions and Controls for Highly Infectious Disease, Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents (HCL) and Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT) offerings.
The HERT course will include a train-the-trainer component and will pair with the HCL course for an Integrated Capstone Event, or ICE. An ICE is a comprehensive exercise at the end of a training week where students from multiple courses and disciplines work together to respond to simulated incidents patterned after real-world events.
Additionally, the CDP is offering its Basic Emergency Response Training and Incident Command: Capabilities, Planning and Response Actions for All Hazards courses.
Registration for these opportunities is currently open. To apply, visit https://cdp.dhs.gov/training-calendar.
