Preparedness Institute (NTPI) of St. Petersburg College - a 60-minute satellite
television broadcast and web cast featuring news styled program segments and
dynamic panel discussions with leading experts who share their knowledge and
experiences about terrorism awareness, prevention, preparedness, response and
recovery. Hosted by local television anchor, Al Ruechel, each program
offers insightful news, unique perspectives and fascinating discussion. Join us
for our next program. It’s your program for valuable information!
Program Description: Imagine
entering a classroom in full riot gear – an automatic weapon at your side as you
breathe through a gas mask. Then the instructor tells you you’ll need to
capture three terrorists and disarm a deadly chemical bomb - all of this on a
Thursday afternoon. Not your typical classroom mind you.
Fortunately, in this incident, the bomb was fake and the terrorists were actors.
But the scenario offered very real training for 20 police officers dressed in
SWAT gear as they recently stormed an abandoned warehouse. In February’s
episode of Live Response, our camera’s visit a unique tactical exercise
for terrorist response that takes place near Orlando, Florida. It’s part
of a very hands-on simulated training program offered by LSU’s National Center
for Biomedical Research and Training center (NCBRT). The Advanced Tactical
Operations class offers five days of intensified training that ends with
terrorist situations participants must respond to. Working in real-life
24-like events, this class includes first responders being taught how to prepare
for the possibility of working in and around weapons of mass destruction.
Offered through funding from the Department of Homeland Security, we’ll look at
how this course provides tactical commanders, operators and support personnel
with knowledge, skills and abilities to command, plan, equip, train and exercise
tactical teams for safe and effective response to such incidents. Our
panel of experts will discuss CBRNE considerations, linear target response
tactics, tactical movements, site surveys and pre-incident planning. Join
us for one of America’s most unique classroom training experiences on the next
Live Response.
Key Learning Objectives for this program:
- Plan and prepare for conducting tactical operations
in a CBRNE environment against a linear target.
- Learn about employing tactical response personnel in an effective manner
in WMD situations.
- How to conduct a site survey and complete pre-incident planning based on
intelligence information and field visits.
