Open Fire Academy Upcoming Online Seminar

We are now beginning to take enrollment for Daniel Sharon's Seminar onBomb Threat Planning and Management(8 hour class). I wanted to give you advanced notice to notify your departments and people you believe would benefit from the class. The course description is as follows:

About the Class...
Bombings, attempted bombings and bomb threats can cause extreme disruption, fear, and even panic in organizations whose personnel are not trained to handle such situations. Inappropriate and costly management decisions are often made due to a lack of organizational planning and a methodology for handling bomb threats, suspicious packages, and actual devices.

This program is aimed at personnel in Government, Police Commanders and Private Industry who wish to improve their understanding of the growing bombing trend, and who are responsible for or have a vested interest in planning for protection against such events.

Information on bombing trends and targets will be discussed, along with specific concerns pertaining to bomb threats that should be part of vulnerability assessments, planning, and decision making.

Detailed information will be presented on developing a bomb threat plan, employee training and management decision making.
