SUMMARY:Active Shooter Incident Management (DHS PER-353)
DESCRIPTION:This course provides a model framework to improve incident management and the integration of law enforcement\, fire and EMS\, public safety communications\, public information officers\, and emergency management responders during active shooter event response\, improving time to threat neutralization\, medical intervention\, and survivability of victims. This is an integrated response course for a cross-discipline audience. The framework utilizes the Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist(TM)\, a validated and recognized National Standard for active shooter event response\, integrating best practices guided by principles of the National Incident Management System (NIMS)\, Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)\, and Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT).  \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn organizational building blocks for an integrated response including Contact Team\, Rescue Task Force\, Tactical\, Perimeter\, Triage\, Transport\, Intelligence\, and Reunification through progressively challenging full-length Active Shooter Event functional exercises utilizing the multi-responder NIMSPro (TM) 3D virtual reality simulator in multiple response roles. The course also introduces participants to Complex Coordinated Attacks (CCA) which includes the complexities of improvised explosive devices; an attacker who becomes static\, barricades\, or takes hostages; and a multi-modal CCA. \n\n\n\nRegistration Contact: Lt. Jacob Heatherly\, GSU Division of Public Safety\, jheatherly@georgiasouthern.edu \n\n\n\nClick here for more information.
