The Leader's Role

in creating vigilant, prepared and resilient communities

What is this training about?

This one-day course is designed to increase public safety and community leaders' skills to engage the community in all-hazards and anti-terrorism strategies. Using practical, real-life case studies, participants will identify community resources that are available for deployment in a real terrorist incident, natural disaster or any event of national significance. Participants will:

  • determine the preparedness needs of their jurisdiction,
  • identify specific goals for higher levels of community preparedness,
  • identify community partners in their jurisdictions who will assist in addressing preparedness gaps,
  • use an implementation model to prepare an action plan
  • and evaluate methods to achieve identified goals for their jurisdiction.

Upon course completion, participants will have developed an initial action plan for addressing all-hazards and anti-terrorism issues to create vigilant, prepared and resilient communities for homeland security.

Who should attend?

All elected officials, public safety and community leaders and middle managers including: law enforcement, fire service, emergency management, public works, tribal, state and local government agencies, hospital health care facilities, educational institutions and other public safety agencies.

Cost: This no-cost training is provided through partnership between Western Community Policing Institute and the Kearny Police Department.
