About this Workshop:

The Introduction to Terrorism & CBRNE – Basic Awareness Workshop will provide you with a very comprehensive introduction to terrorist groups, their methodologies, the threat they pose and the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) weapons at their disposal.

This workshop is designed as a strong primer on Terrorism and the potential use of CBRNE weapons. The targeted goal of this workshop is to provide the informational and familiarization needs of individuals working in or around what may be considered as attractive terrorist targets such as; large office complexes, schools, industries, transportation centers, government centers, convention centers, stadiums, shopping centers, tourist attractions, amusement parks, fairs, festivals or any other venue expected to attract large crowds.

This workshop is not designed to provide operational first responder training rather it is designed to provide comprehensive general knowledge for the participant to accurately identify, qualify and quantify the needs of their organizations in managing the threat of terrorism. It will provide you with a practical understanding of the groups, the threat, and the weapons that may used. At the end of the class, you will be able to develop an effective policy and terrorism training program for your organization.
