Complex Coordinated Attacks (CCAs) are the focus of our national security partners. A CCA is a synchronized attack conducted by two or more semi-independent teams at multiple locations, in close succession, initiated with little or no warning, using multiple well-trained attackers, and employing one or more of the following: firearms, explosives, vehicles, and fire as a weapon. It is a dynamic, complex incident that requires an integrated, unified response. These attacks are often directed at “soft targets” such as shopping centers, movie theatres, universities, and public transit hubs, with secondary attacks directed at first responders. Information is also given on how this issue affects institutions of higher education and the issue of extremism on college campuses. Resources and best practices are also discussed on dealing with this issue. This two-part course is designed to help officers recognize and understand the complexities, training, intelligence, resources and response to such events.
