and arenas to help security personnel recognize and
prevent terrorist activity.
IAAM
is working in conjunction with the DHS on this training
as well as the development of the National Training
Academy for Safety and Security, scheduled for August
2004, to ensure the highest level of safety at public
assembly facilities.

for registration. DHS requires a minimum of 25 students
per class. Registration cut-off is 10 days prior to the
date of the class.
Why: U.S.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Michael
Chertoff, is committed to reaching out to the 25 million
businesses and organizations that make up America’s
public and private sectors. To fulfill that commitment,
he has asked the Department’s Protective Security
Coordination Division (PSCD) and the Private Sector
Office to team up and offer a Soft Targets Awareness
Course for both the public and private sectors. As a
member of this community and as a partner in our
homeland security mission, we would like you to be a
part of this effort.
What: As a participant in the course, you and the
other attendees will receive an introduction to
terrorism; learn to recognize and prevent terrorist
activities (basic surveillance detection methods); learn
the basics of prevention, response, and recovery; and
then discuss with other attendees issues specific to
their sector of business. It is purposely designed to be
interactive and your feedback and insights both during
and after the course will help us and the Department in
fulfilling Secretary Chertoff’s commitment to America’s
private sector.
Who: Property/facility managers, supervisors, 1st
line managers and their security and safety staff are
encouraged to attend.
