Training & Events

Missouri election officials in the Kansas City metropolitan area (Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties), in conjunction with the Regional Homeland Security Coordinating Committee (RHSCC), are hosting an immersive three-hour workshop that emphasizes the importance of interagency cooperation between election officials, law enforcement, emergency management, public information officers, cybersecurity experts and emergency responders in effectively mitigating threats and ensuring a swift and coordinated response to election-related incidents.

The PER335 course is a 16-hour in-person class that addresses the vulnerability of any community to a public safety situation, such as an active shooter at a shopping mall; a train derailment with hazardous chemicals; a bombing incident at a commercial district; a plane crash; or chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive attack. These complex coordinated attacks involve multiple threats that often exceed conventional response tactics. The attacks require a joint response involving members from varying disciplines and jurisdictions. 

Learn to manage chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke or cancer. Participants report better energy, reduced fatigue and improved health after taking this course.

This workshop is an adaptation of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, this class offers similar content, but delivered in one-hour segments for the workplace.

Classes meet for 1 hour twice a week for six weeks: Jun. 3 - Jul. 17, 2024

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has increased dramatically over the past few years through standalone tools like ChatGPT and built-in AI assistants in all of our familiar platforms like Zoom and Microsoft 365. There are significant opportunities and challenges with using AI to assist or produce the required plans and products in the transportation sector.
