About this Event
Over the years, the CTOS contribution to national preparedness has been substantial, training responders from all 50 states and each U.S. territory. Since September 11, 2001, more than 270,000 first responders have been trained, through resident, mobile, virtual, web based and train the trainer programs.
Today, the various CTOS programs meet the training and education needs of more than 20,000 first responders in state, local, and tribal governments each year.
Brentwood Fire & Rescue is bringing the instructional staff from CTOS to offer a dual certification course at six different offerings.
PER-345 Radiation Instrument Operations
PER-345 provides instrument operation skills needed by First Responders when responding to a radiological/nuclear incident, as well as an overview of detection equipment, including selection and general operation. Training encompasses the basic operations of dosimeters, PRDs, survey meters, and RIIDs. This course also enables First Responders to select the appropriate instrument operation in the performance of their mission.
PER-355 Radiation Instrument Employment
PER-355 applies to both the Prevent and Response mission areas. This class uses a series of hands-on drills to reinforce the skills of Emergency Responders previously trained to use radiation detection instruments. NOTE: While CTOS provides instruments for training purposes, Participants are encouraged to bring their department’s instruments.
