NFPA 472, 473 Compliance
Each NDPC course is developed to comply with
standards set by NFPA 472 and 473
POST Compliance
NDPC courses have never been denied
certification.

White House Strategy
The Department of Homeland Security will
establish national standards for Emergency
Response Training and Preparedness
These standards would also require certain
coursework for individuals to receive and
maintain certification as First Responders and
for state and local governments to receive
federal grants
The Department would serve as the central
coordinating body responsible for overseeing
curriculum standards and, through regional
centers of excellence such as the National
Domestic Preparedness Consortium, for training
the instructors who will train our First
Responders

Jersey City Fire Chief - Frederick Eggers
Tenant of the apartment is presently in the
custody of the FBI
Incident commander did not think anything of it,
nor did the police supervisor at the scene
If it were not for your class, this situation
might have been laughed off as a kook, but
because of what our members learned, perhaps
lives were saved
One member of our hazmat unit, who had attended
your class, stated that the urine could be a
component of a bomb
