This is an  OSS Academy® Rapid Response & Deployment online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Over the past several decades, it has been the practice of many agencies to require patrol officers to respond to such incidents as barricaded suspects,  hostage situations, and active shooters. Upon arrival it was up to these officers to establish a perimeter, and await the arrival of special tactical units. We have learned that the delay inherent in such tactics can be very costly in lives. This course provides management and officers the reasons for, and proper deployment of, patrol officers in a rapid response mode when the tactical situation is so volatile that there is literally no time to allow for thorough preparation and deployment of special units.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
