The design, development and delivery of high-quality training courses and programs relating to Terrorism Methodology, Threat Response, Threat Mitigation and Infrastructure Protection is the primary mission of the Counterterrorism Division (CTD). The CTD also operates a specialized antiterrorism/physical security training facility to demonstrate and validate state-of-the-art hardware and provide students with a hands-on laboratory environment.
Classroom lecture, reinforced through various training aids, laboratory exercises, and practical exercises ensure students a meaningful learning experience. Courses taught by the CTD staff in the Center’s basic training programs include: Terrorism, Bombs and Explosives, First Response, Weapons of Mass Destruction and Hazardous Materials, Physical Security, Weapons/Explosives Detection, Aircraft Countermeasures, Operations Security, and Man-Portable Air Defense Systems.
In addition to basic courses, the CTD also offers Advanced Training Programs to enhance the knowledge and abilities of today’s law enforcement professionals, with the goal of enhancing their overall effectiveness in an “all hazards” environment.
The CTD is also involved with the continued development and operation of several facilities designed and built to assist law enforcement with combating the terrorist threat. Additionally, these multi-venue facilities provides today’s law enforcement officers access to training resources never before available at the FLETC, allowing students to train on advanced and specialized skills necessary for engaging in high-risk operations for today’s dangerous world.
