The
Citizen's Homeland Security Council was developed in response to 9/11. It’s
intended to give local citizens a basic education about terrorism: what it
looks like, what we have here in
Nevada
, what to report etc. The more that we educate and
involve our community about terrorism - both domestic and foreign - the
better prepared we are. Council volunteers are trained to recognize and
understand what would be considered a terrorist threat, as well as what to do
should an attack occur. These trained volunteers make our community safer and
more secure. We like to call CHSC -neighborhood watch, with a terrorism
focus, on a community-wide scale”.
CHSC members receive training in following
topics:
- Introduction to Homeland Security
- Roots of Terrorism
- Local Efforts to Combat Terrorism
- The Islamic Terrorist Threat in
America
- Observation and Threat Recognition
- The Domestic Terrorist Threat in
America
Our instructors bring an overwhelming
amount of "hands on" skills and background in their training
topic. Instructor backgrounds include former
CIA, military, and law enforcement personnel..
