Full Description: Course Description
This course is designed to train law enforcement and public safety officers to employ department procured and issued personal radiation detectors (PRDs) within the bounds of the jurisdiction/agency operational environment, including local instruments, procedures, and legal considerations. The course provides training and extensive hands-on practice with real radioactive material. PRD instruments used in the course are the instruments owned and issued by the responder organization. The responder organization will provide PRDs for student use in the course, preferably one PRD per student.

Topics Include
Instrument: Thermo RAD-EYE
Participants in this course will detect and locate the presence of radiation and/or radiological material; identify and distinguish among false alarms due to background radiation, alarms due to legitimate causes, and alarms due to illicit radiological/nuclear material; and measure the approximate radiation level that generated the alarm upon detecting, locating, and assessing the alarm.

Audience
The target audience for this course is Law Enforcement , Fire Service, Hazardous Materials (HazMat), Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Public Works, and other response personnel assigned to duties employing a PRD. Attendees and/or their agency must have a Radiation Detection/Identification Program in place that requires this training. The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) reserves the right to determine eligibility for this course.
