Managing Civil Actions in Threat incidents - Protester Devices Course
    (MCATI)

Law enforcement agencies that handle WMD incidents are required to
address any civil disturbances that arise as a result of these incidents.
Police need to be trained to understand the principles involved in MCATI.
Poor crowd management within general proximity of a WMD event can easily 
exacerbate the continued spread of chemical or biological contamination,
unless non-public safety persons are prevented from entering and exiting the
threat zone.

Civil action in threat incidents is known by a variety of names: riot, civil
disturbance, or protest.  From a small peaceful assembly to a large, out-of-
control, violent confrontation, public safety officials must be prepared to handle
the incident.  This course provides Federal, State, and local public agencies
with the skills and tactics necessary to prepare for and successfully mitigate
protesters and their devices.  The course combines classroom instruction 
detailing the history of devices, tools to be considered for extrication, and safety
considerations.  The majority of the course will be spent in the field using
tools and defeating improvised protestor devices.  The primary course
objective of this MCATI program is to teach methods of recognizing, responding
to, and counteracting protester tactics, such as human chains, barriers, and 
improvised devices.  Additional course topics will include, but not be limited to,
extracting protesters, disabling devices, diverting attempts to create blockages,
lock picking, teamwork, and power tools/machines.

Course Objectives

• Identify how and when certain devices and tools can be applied
  to restore order.
• Demonstrate the ability to safely use specialized tools and
  devices to extricate protesters and restore order.
• Identify and protect protester rights as guaranteed by the
  First Amendment while still conducting extrication procedures.
• Identify the legal aspects and actions allowed by law when
  dealing with passive resistance.
• Identify the roles and responsibilities of individual members of an
  extrication team.
