While our bodies have long stepped out of the cave and onto the curbs of our communities, our brains continue to guard us like we just learned to walk on two feet. Our ever-vigilant survival brains keep us safe and effective at our jobs but over the long term our bodies and minds struggle to stay well. We’ll be digging into the psychology of a public safety career. How has the service changed our bodies and minds? What are we doing to ourselves, what do we have to accept, and what can we change?
The Lehigh County Drone Team will be hosting the LEDA PA training day at the JOC from noon-8pm. Lunch and dinner will be provided, as well as presentations from PSP and some regional experts on interior flying and CUAS. The later portion of the day will be focused on practical exercises and a full NIST course will be set up and proctored (providing a certificate). The entire event is free, and covered by LEDA.
This is a two-day, 16-hour, management-level course designed to help participants understand the components used when planning for security at events conducted in small, rural, and remote communities.

Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response (PER-275)
Course Summary
Terrorism involving active shooter attacks on population centers has become part of law enforcement officers’ awareness; however, increased awareness of a problem does not ensure preparedness or appropriate response tactics. This course addresses technical aspects of planning and implementing a rapid law enforcement deployment to an active shooter incident through classroom presentations, hands-on performance-based field training, and scenario-based practical exercises.
