Overview

The purpose of the training is to provide a background for school administrators; primarily principals and transportation directors, law enforcement, and others with information and knowledge to facilitate planning for incidents on school campuses. While the title includes Schools Bombing incidents, the training is more of an all-hazards approach and includes planning elements for terror attacks as well as criminal acts perpetrated on school property.  

UPSBI provides technical operations and awareness training for law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, school administration and staff, emergency management and other personnel who have a significant responsibility for responding to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) incidents involving explosives and incendiary materials in a school environment..
