Operations Security for Public Safety Agencies Counterterrorism Training Program (OPSACTP)
Criminals and terrorists are becoming increasingly effective in collecting intelligence against U.S. agencies and corporations. To be successful, they need specific information about personnel, response plans, capabilities, and critical infrastructures / key resources. Operations Security (OPSEC) is a five-step risk management tool used by security professionals and the military that public safety agencies could use to deny our adversaries the sensitive information they need to plan their crimes and attacks. The OPSACTP is designed for public safety and special operations teams such as WMD/Hazmat, Bomb Squads, Tactical Teams, Arson and Gang Investigations, and the like. The OPSACTP teaches public safety officers from the law enforcement, fire-rescue, EMS and emergency management communities how to use OPSEC to protect you, your mission, and your family.
