Civilian Training

DCJS Civilian  Active Attack Program

 
When an attack occurs, will you be ready? Have you ever wondered what to do if you found yourself in an active attack, whether by firearms, knife, vehicle, or some other weapon?
 
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) can teach you how to respond, and to be an immediate responder before other first responders and emergency personnel arrive. This training is specifically for you, your family and friends, your co-workers, community partners, and other concerned citizens.

This course combines the civilian response with the Stop the Bleed® campaign, which empowers civilians to provide life-saving medical aid before first responders ever arrive. Topics include the history and prevalence of active attack events, civilian response options, and medical issues.
