Terrorism Awareness & Combating Extremism

Course Description

A fully accredited stand-alone course with the Maryland Police Training Commission, and South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. Students are introduced to the threats posed by international and domestic terror and extremist groups, their philosophies, operational methods, current operations, and recruiting methods.

We discuss how these groups use social and legacy media as a weapon, and its use in propaganda, radicalization, and recruiting efforts by these groups. Students will discuss the various methods of combating their message as part of a security program.

Students will conduct a “red cell” capstone event acting as both terrorists and protectors. Teams will form a terror cell, determine the motive and target lists, and conduct surveillance. Protectors will conduct threat assessments on key individuals preparing the risk mitigation plan and conduct vulnerability assessments on specified locations and facilities.

Both teams will conduct all the elements of the attack cycle and prepare their attack/security plans and media campaigns.

Elements of this course are also covered in the Dignitary and Executive Protection Programs DCJS 32E and 32I
