Critical Incident Response Training Program (CIRTP)
The CIRTP is a train-the-trainer program designed to deal with the full range of options available to a law enforcement agency when responding to a critical incident. This program is based upon the hostage-barricade model since experience has proven that the first 30 minutes of a hostage-barricade incident are normally the most difficult and dangerous. Occurrences in the early stages may actually limit and have an overwhelming influence on the resolution options. The hostage-barricade model requires all elements of the law enforcement agency along with other agencies such as fire, emergency response/management, etc. to come together to handle the incident.
Students are provided a complete training package that offers a full menu of options to allow them to tailor training to meet their agency’s needs. The training methodology could range from multiple 15-minute roll call training segments for patrol officers to a 40-hour program for managers/decision-makers with direct responsibility for managing their agencies’ responses to critical incidents. The training options between these two extremes are virtually unlimited.
