This train-the-trainer course satisfies the instructor mandates of Bergen County Prosecutor Directives 2017-01 and 2020-11 and will certify officers as municipal-level Active Shooter and De-Escalation Instructors. During this course of instruction (COI), officers will be taught the fundamentals of active shooter response, as well as proper, safe and effective de-escalation techniques. More importantly, through intense instruction, training materials and guidance, officers will learn how to conduct their departmental Active Shooter and De-Escalation training. The COI uses a combination of PowerPoints, classroom instruction, videos and scenario-based practical exercises. When possible, it is recommended that departments register current municipal active shooter instructors. Registration priority will be for 2 officers per department until the minimum 2 officer mandate is met.
