The Department of Homeland Security -Port Isabel Detention Center Training Department & The University of Texas at Brownsville Police Department is sponsoring a Executive Seminar: Prevention, Deterrence and Response to Campus Emergencies course on March 25, 2010 thru March 26, 2010 at UTB.

The training course is a two-day workshops to provide your campus leaders, faculty governance, student governance, campus law enforcement/security departments, campus health/medical and mental health services, campus public affairs, jurisdictional law enforcement and public safety agencies, and jurisdictional public information officers with an understanding of and ability to navigate through the difficult aspects of dealing with campus emergencies such as man-made or natural events, including acts of violence. The course will consist of small, integrated group activities that are problem-based and will require a coordinated, integrated approach in order to solve them. Course participants will be allowed to observe a developing incident and respond in a manner that would be consistent with currently established campus and jurisdictional emergency operations procedures.

This course is designed to address campus emergencies associated with a spontaneous event requiring the attention of college and campus officials, emergency responders, elected officials, and other community stakeholders. The course consists of nine modules. These modules include classroom instruction, facilitated discussions, and practical activities involving scenario-driven problems that are intended to facilitate discussion and decision-making.

Seating is limited to the first 45 attendants; it is recommended that you register as soon as possible. Registration will be accepted until close of business Monday, March 15, 2010 and if you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
