This free online training course, available for telecommunicators and other communications professionals, is a pivotal resource in the realm of active attack response. Over the past two decades, the spotlight of active attack response training has been mainly on law enforcement. However, this course shifts the focus to a key player in these situations that often goes unnoticed - the communications personnel.
Telecommunicators form a vital link in the survival chain during active attacks. They are the first point of contact and play an essential role in coordinating the response efforts. Despite the numerous challenges and variables present in such scenarios, it's crucial that the response system operates as quickly as possible. And this is where effective communication becomes critical.
The paramount factor in these high-stake events is the rapid stabilization and transport to definitive care, which can be significantly expedited with proficient communication. This course, designed in collaboration with Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT), prepares communications professionals to achieve this goal.
The course focuses on equipping telecommunicators with effective dispatching techniques to minimize chaos, save lives, and speed up the response during an active attack event. On completion, participants meet the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) requirements for #78052, enhancing their professional capabilities in the communications field.
In essence, this course serves the critical need of strengthening our collective preparedness for potential active attack events through enhanced communication. It provides those at the frontline of these incidents - the communications personnel - with the essential tools and skills they need to manage these crises effectively.
