THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE
Given today's ever-changing threat environment, preparing for and training employees to cope with workplace violence should be a key piece of an organization's incident response planning. The Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to partner with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Roanoke College to host a one-day security workshop to enhance awareness of, and response to, an active shooter event:
The event will also describe how to incorporate key elements of successful incident management into planning efforts including:
The workshop focuses on providing awareness training that supports the development of emergency action planning capabilities. These capabilities may better position private sector organizations in receiving important legal liability protections from the DHS Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002. Following the 9/11 attacks, the private sector became very concerned about the risk of liability they would face in the event that their product, service, or layered security program (e.g., Technology) was impacted by an act of terrorism. The SAFETY Act seeks to mitigate those risks by encouraging the wide-spread deployment of effective anti-terrorism technologies by providing legal protections that cap or dismiss liability in the event of an act of terrorism. To learn more about the SAFETY Act and the types of products, services, and layered security programs that have received protections, visit www.safetyact.gov.
