Law Enforcement Theme Week 2026

The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will host Law Enforcement Theme Week on the CDP campus in Anniston, Alabama, from September 20 to 26, 2026, with September 20 and 26 designated as travel days. In partnership with the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC), the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training/Academy of Counter-Terrorist Education (NCBRT/ACE), the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC), and the Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP), this theme week will feature public order training, active shooter training, surveillance detection training, and CBRNE training for law enforcement. Upon successful completion, participants will enhance their capabilities in multiple mission areas, including active threat response, mass casualty incident response and recovery, decontamination operations, civil disturbance mitigation, and making critical decisions during all-hazards events. Personnel attending this training will be better prepared to respond to emergencies in their communities. All courses will culminate in an Integrated Capstone Event (ICE), an exercise conducted on Friday, September 25, 2026. CDP training is fully funded for state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency responders, including roundtrip airfare, meals, lodging, tuition, and any equipment required during training.
