Snapshot: Crowd Control Formations
Law enforcement officers practice establishing and holding formations used for crowd control during Field Force Operations (FFO) training at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP). The 3-day FFO course teaches law enforcement and security officers about types of protests, legal consideration, constitutional rights of protestors, how to safely manage crowds, and other mobile field force team responsibilities.
The CDP is authorized to award 2.4 CEUs for this course by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training. For additional information about the FFO Course or to register for future iterations, visit: https://cdp.dhs.gov/training/course/PER-200.
