The purpose of this performance-level course is to provide the operational

-level details to support many of the topics covered in the U.S.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved AWR 148: Crisis

Management for School-Based Incidents – Partnering Rural Law

Enforcement and the Local School Systems awareness-level course.

Rural schools, law enforcement, other emergency responders, and

community stakeholders are often limited in their access to resources, so

it is imperative that all potentially affected parties collaborate in planning,

preparation, communication, response, and recovery in the event of a

school-based incident. Moreover, these affected parties must come

together to practice their interoperable skills through drills and exercises

to ensure the strategies in place provide for an effective crisis response

and collaborative recovery.

With the intent of building upon the foundation of the AWR 148 course

and utilizing an all-hazards approach, this two-day course will provide

content instruction, develop concept-specific skills, and provide

opportunities for law enforcement, school personnel, and community

stakeholders to collaboratively apply the course objectives in scenariobased

applications
