THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE

The workshop will take place at the Lincoln Parish Library Events Center, Ruston Room, 910 North Trenton Street, Ruston, LA 71270.
 
A Unique Training Opportunity
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Office of Infrastructure Protection seeks to enhance preparedness through a “whole community” approach.  This approach supports our stakeholders’ efforts to plan, prepare and mitigate risk from a potential active shooter threat.
 
The workshop goals include recognition, prevention, and preparedness training for active shooter incidents with an emphasis on emergency action plan development. Following the National Preparedness Mission Areas and Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance, expert instructors utilize slide presentations, training videos, and facilitated discussions to share information on how to structure and develop an emergency action plan utilizing best practices.  Upon completion of the workshop, participants will return to their organization with the initial elements of their active shooter emergency action plan.

• Communication and incident planning for employees;
