Overview
This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Demonstration & Crowd Management Basics online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Protests against Wal-Mart in 2013 drew almost 30,000 demonstrators nationwide. In San Francisco protesters angered by the acquittal of George Zimmerman held largely peaceful demonstrations, but then erupted into breaking windows and starting small street fires. There were Occupy protests in almost every state, and these occurred in small towns, as well as large.
How prepared are you and your department to handle a demonstration or protest? What resources do you have available? How soon could you mobilize your forces? What policies, and subsequent training, should you have implemented prior to responding to a demonstration? These and many more questions are answered in this thought provoking and informative training about how to prepare for and respond to a demonstration.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
