This course is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security approved training developed by the
New Mexico Tech, Energetic Materials Research and Training Center.
This 5 1/2 hour awareness level course is designed to assist law enforcement officers,
firefighters, other first responder agencies, school administrators, faculty and staff who are
responsible in planning for and responding to bomb threats, suspected explosive devices
found, or actual bombing incidents at a school.
Response procedures are addressed for pre-detonation scenarios when a bomb threat is
received or a suspicious package/device is found; post-detonation when a bomb has already
exploded; and a continuing explosive incident when perpretrators using explosives remain in
the area.
This course addresses issues involved in developing a safe and effective school bomb threat
response plan annex as part of the School Emergency and Crisis Response Plan.
Topics to be addressed:
- How to apply accurate threat information in the formulation of policy, plans, tactics, and
procedures for bomb incident response
- Basic steps in a threat assessment
- Appropriate response actions based on scenario types and factors associated with time,
distance, and shielding
- Components of an improvised explosive device, based on visual clues and situational
factors
This class will be taught by Ron Ellis and Associates.
This class is sponsored by the Illinois Terrorism Task Force, the Illinois State Board of
Education, and the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System.
