Overview

This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Homeland Security: Counter-Terrorism online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

In August 2004, the Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC) was incorporated into the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) by Executive Order 13354, and the NCTC’s authorities were codified in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA). NCTC has the statutory responsibility to serve as the central and shared knowledge bank on known and suspected terrorists and international terror groups, as well as their goals, strategies, capabilities, and networks of contacts and support. To fulfill this role, NCTC maintains the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE), the U.S. Government’s central classified repository for all known or suspected international terrorists and their networks of contacts and support.

Developed in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, this course addresses the various threats posed to the United States both externally and internally. In particular, we cover response tactics and safety considerations to apply when responding to an incident involving an active shooter, improvised explosive device, or bomber.

Special attention is given to safety and security measures to consider when encountering an active shooter or planning first responder actions for terrorism-related incidents at educational facilities, stadiums and arenas, special events in a city or community, airport security, U.S. ports, mass transit infrastructure, and hotels and high-rise buildings.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive course credit.
