2 September 2011 WMD Radiological / Nuclear Responder Operations PER-240 COURSE CANCELLED Westchester County Emergency Services Training Center, 4 Dana Road, Valhalla, NY /20/2011 8:00 AM 4:00 PM This course is designed to instruct emergency responders on basic radiological detection, survey instruments, risk-based response, crime-scene preservation, personal protective equipment (PPE), radiological decontamination, and mitigation of radiological incidents. The course consists of both classroom instruction and scenario-driven, hands-on, performance-oriented practical exercises. Responders are presented with realistic, stressful conditions in their own jurisdiction and will work with their counterparts from other disciplines from within their community. Air-purifying respirators may be worn (for training purposes only) during the final exercise by those who are certified by their organization to wear respirators (bring documentation to the course). Advanced Active Shooters Scenario Tactics and Operations A2S2-Operations This Program is for Law Enforcement Personnel and EMS only COURSE FULL- Look for future delivery State Preparedness Training Center, 5900 Airport Road, Oriskany, NY /21/2011 7:00 AM 9:00 PM 09/22/2011 7:00 AM 4:00 PM The A2S2 Tactics & Operations Course is expected to help local, state, and federal emergency response agencies develop both an awareness and related performance level tactics necessary to respond to a complex active shooter scenario situation (Mumbai type attack). A2S2 is intended to provide training to combat potential terrorist instigated attacks against the United States, and in particular the state of New York in which the use of small arms fire, automatic weapons, and explosives (both IEDs and VBIEDS) are used in concert in a coordinated attack against a jurisdiction at multiple locations. Moreover, the attack would be one that is sustained over a prolonged period of time (excess of 12 hours) overwhelming any local jurisdiction s capability of responding effectively to said attack without significant assistance and support from other local agencies across the region in addition to state and/or federal assistance. Page 2 of 15

3 Such an attack would most likely occur without warning and would result in a high number of casualties among civilians, law enforcement officers, and other emergency response personnel, as well. Although many of the casualties would be fatalities, it is likely that many more would receive injuries ranging from minor to lifethreatening requiring both on-scene emergency care and transport to medical facilities. Another likely consequence of such an incident would be significant (usually localized) destruction of property and infrastructure as the result of explosives, particularly Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs). It is likely that a jurisdiction s response to such an occurrence would require the resources of both law enforcement and non-law enforcement bomb technician teams should unexploded ordinance be found or suspected and firerescue (potential urban search-and-rescue or USAR and emergency medical service or EMS). Advanced Intelligence Analysis to Prevent Terrorism - ACIAPT COURSE CANCELLED This course is for Law Enforcement only State Preparedness Training Center, 5900 Airport Road, Oriskany, NY /26-30/2011 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Law enforcement intelligence for counterterrorism requires a more strategic or predictive approach to deal with both domestic and international terrorist threats. This training helps law enforcement analysts become aware of intelligence processes used in the national security arena, and law enforcement s role in the intelligence community.

Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response Train-the-Trainer PER This course is available for armed, sworn Law Enforcement Officers with Instructor Certification only 10/4 6/2011 8:00 AM 5:00 PM This course addresses technical aspects of planning and implementing a rapid law enforcement deployment to an active shooter incident at an educational institution. As such, it provides detailed information through classroom presentations, hands-on performance-based field training, and scenario-based practical exercises designed to cause law enforcement officers to implement a rapid deployment to an active shooter incident. Identify the characteristics and recognize need for rapid deployment during an active shooter incident; Differentiate between a rapid deployment by first responders and a tactical team response; Identify minimum entry requirements as they apply to an active shooter incident; Recognize the need to conduct advanced planning for an active shooter incident; Identify advantageous and disadvantageous of tactical angles; Explain gun turret technique and how weapons discipline and fields of fire are maintained when using this technique; Describe and perform individual clearing techniques of quick peek, cross, hook, cut the pie, and partial penetration.

6 Define and discuss emergency breaching considerations and mechanical breaching tools, techniques and methodology; and Receive scenario information regarding an active shooter incident, form into a rapid deployment team, and develop a hasty response plan; and then respond to and neutralize the threat. Indicators of the Terrorist Attack Cycle for Law Enforcement ITAC - Advanced This course is for Law Enforcement only State Preparedness Training Center, 5900 Airport Road, Oriskany, NY /11 12/2011 8:00 AM 5:00 PM 10/12/2011 8:00 AM 12:00 PM This course, Indicators of the Terrorist Attack Cycle: Advanced, is intended to provide the law enforcement and counter-terrorism communities with an opportunity to enhance observational skills that could help, when coupled with appropriate and timely information sharing and other appropriate interdictions, prevent a terrorist attack on a domestic target. This two-day, instructor-led course, which is designed at the performance level and is scenario-based, actively engages participants in interactive discussions and activities. The course utilizes red team group activities as a means for increasing participants understanding of the planning, surveillance, attack, and escape/evasion/exploitation actions commonly found among terrorist attacks. Participants in each class will be organized into three teams. Each team will be assigned a specific target within a scenario community. As the class progresses through the key phases of a terrorist attack, each team will assume the roles of terrorist cell operatives. The team will design surveillance and rehearsal plans, work through the attack phases, and ultimately, plan the escape/evasion/exploitation efforts. The design of the group activities is such that as the participants move through each phase, they will ultimately see the evolution of the various phases across three different targets. Thus, participants will gain significant insight into potentially observable terrorist actions and behaviors. An essential element of the course is the discussion and reinforcement of the need for timely and appropriate information sharing with government and law enforcement agencies through field intelligence officers (or similar positions), Joint Terrorism Task Forces, and related systems. Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss potential interdiction strategies as the phases evolve. Page 6 of 15
