Site Protection through Observational Techniques (PER-369)

Emergency responders, security professionals, security support staff, and the public must work together to identify suspicious objects, substances, and people. This course trains public safety personnel to improve their observational techniques by using a four-step ongoing screening process that includes increasing protective awareness, identifying suspicious behaviors and preoperational activities, evaluating, and taking action.

At the end of this course, participants will be able to better recognize, communicate, and act upon observable suspicious behaviors and preoperational activities that could indicate a planned act of targeted violence.
