Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

The goal of this course is to train hometown security partners (Fire/EMS professionals) in their role of observing and reporting suspicious activity in accordance with the NSI SAR Functional Standard. This is especially important due to the ability of Fire/EMS professionals to encounter indicators of terrorist activity in the course of their daily duties. The first half of the training aims to aid emergency management professionals in their duty to recognize what kinds of suspicious behaviors are associated with pre-incident terrorism activities; protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties when documenting information; and understand how and where to report suspicious activity. The second half of this course presents two scenarios that detail the procedures and expectations of Fire/EMS professionals in reference to SAR. The training concludes by providing real-world examples of how the Fire/EMS community was integral in the resolution of national SAR incidents.
