The Necessity of Designing Police Education in HAZMAT/CBRN
Patrick Wengler · 2023
This chapter discusses the implementation phases of the proposed training, covering incident response steps, incident command and control procedures, legislation, and capability development. It provides as well a short description on what each subject should entail in order to deepen the knowledge on HAZMAT/CBRN incident response, including treating and learning the recognition and adequate response at the policing level with such agents. The knowledge will not make the officer an expert, but it will make the response quicker and maintain health and safety principles and demonstrate safe handling procedures with weapons while wearing personal protective equipment, which according to international law have to be respected.
