TRANSIT SECURITY TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

TRANSIT TERRORIST TOOLS AND TACTICS (T4)

This 3 day (24 hour) course teaches transit security, local law enforcement , government officials, private security officers and others how to respond to the threat of a terrorist attack in a mass transit environment.  The course begins with an overview of the threat to transit agencies and the consequences of an attack and moves quickly into scenario-based practical exercises.

Topics covered during the course include behavioral assessment, emergency planning, threat and vulnerability assessment, and an introduction to various types of technology that can be used to help transit agencies prevent terrorist attacks.  The final day of training is an all-day practical exercise that incorporates all of the topics previously covered.

Who should attend T4?  Anyone who works in a mass transit environment is encouraged to attend.  This includes transit managers, coach operators, risk management staff and anyone else in the transit system.  Others groups who often attend include transit police/local law enforcement, firefighters, private security personnel and many others that have a local transit system in their jurisdiction.

T4 will be offered at the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy on September 9, 10 & 11, 2008.  Tuition is $1,680 per person and includes lodging and meals. 

T4 has been certified by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
