Understanding and Planning for School Bombing Incidents The Understanding and Planning for School Bombing Incidents course is designed to provide emergency first responders and school staff with the skills to plan and respond to school bomb threats and bombing incidents through lectures and exercises. Participants are presented with information necessary to recognize a threat and determine pre- and post-detonation threat response strategies, and develop actionable items specific to each individual's school needs.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Development

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program Development (UASPD), mobile course provides emergency first responders with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and sustain a drone operations program. This information includes determining whether an agency should conduct operations under the small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) Rule, 14 CFR Part 107 (Part 107), as a Public Aircraft Operation (PAO), or as a combination of both Part 107 and PAO operations. Additionally, the course presents information on sUAS equipment requirements, the development of standard operating procedures, and program requirements/waiver processes for sUAS operations under Part 107 and as a PAO.

Military Ordnance Recognition for Public Safety Bomb Technicians

The Military Ordnance Recognition for Public Safety Bomb Technicians (MOR-PSBT) course consists of performance-level classroom training and field labs designed to provide PSBT operators with the knowledge and skills required to identify the characteristics and hazards associated with military ordnance threats and how to apply safety measures to mitigate these threats to the community. Course is designed to challenge PSBT operators during facilitated classroom lectures, mentored practical hands-on ordnance identification lanes, and practical exercises based on historic military ordnance incidents. Course also addresses the criticality of standardized incident reporting within the ATF Bomb and Arson Tracking System (BATS) as part of their mission response cycle. As an added benefit to the PSBT organizations, MOR-PSBT graduates will have the requisite knowledge to provide basic military ordnance hazard awareness training throughout their Public Safety organization staff.
