First Responder Training Program (FRTP)

Up one level First Responder Training Program (FRTP)

The FRTP is a 2 ½ day classroom-based training program that covers the topics most applicable to law enforcement officers as first responders. Law enforcement officers must be trained and equipped to respond to virtually any situation, including criminal acts, terrorist attacks and other large-scale emergencies. These officers will need to use a system of command to achieve a coordinated and effective incident response. The FRTP will provide training, guidelines, and resources to address these, as well as other important issues. The FRTP is designed for law enforcement officers and law enforcement support personnel. The practical application of sound response principles is a main theme of this training program.
