Emergency Services Training Events

Ammonia is one of the highest volume chemicals produced in the United States. It is used in the manufacturing of rocket fuels, synthetic fibers, yeast and explosives, with the most common use of fertilizer and as a refrigerant. With the current theft problem of ammonia for drug production, this class will familiarize you with nurse tanks, transport containers and storage facilities where releases might occur.

This eight (8)-hour course is locally developed by regional police officers and tactical medics. It was developed for regional first responders who will be exposed to and then asked to demonstrate techniques related to countermeasures when engaging with motivated attackers. This instructor-led training will start with classroom instruction which will build to demonstrated techniques and end with practical application scenarios involving simulations. Travel costs are not provided.

Participants will learn risk recognition, responder safety, patient care considerations, evidence-based decontamination, and coordination across agencies grounded in real incidents from the KC Metro.

Target Audience

This is a free training opportunity open to all first responder disciplines: Fire, Police, Sheriff, EMS, Public Health and Emergency Management personnel with practical, scene-ready tactics for today’s opioid landscape.

MGT 318: Public Information in an All-Hazards Incidents is a two-day (16 hour) management and planning level course that examines the role of public information in all-hazards incident management and provides practical training in crisis communication techniques. In a major incident, it is imperative that community leaders, incident managers, and Public Information Officers (PIOs) are prepared to communicate with the public through traditional and social media.
