Door Barricading

The purpose of this presentation is to provide demonstrations of effective door barricading techniques. During an active threat incident, it is important for individuals to place as many obstacles and time-consuming barriers between themselves and the threat as possible. Taking steps to impede or stop the progress of a threat could increase survivability and save lives.

Consolidating Training Needs

The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the benefits of consolidating training needs into a jurisdictional multiyear training plan. This plan provides opportunities for interagency collaboration and training. It allows jurisdictions to train with other agencies or jurisdictions that will be responding during an emergency. Consolidating several agencies’ needs into one jurisdiction-wide training plan allows agencies with common training goals to work together, share resources, and provide support.
