Johnson County Sheriff's Office Training Facility

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. 

There is no cost to attend this training. Registration is a two-step process and requires attendees to register with MARC and with the training provider. Instructions on the second step will be included in the confirmation email sent after completing the first step.
