About CHDS
The CHDS Executive Education Program (EEP) provides a wide-range of tailored homeland security educational opportunities designed to help strengthen U.S. capability to prevent, deter, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and public safety threats, and to build the intergovernmental, interagency, and civil-military cooperation that homeland security requires.
The academic program offerings are conducted around the country by CHDS mobile education teams comprised of nationally recognized experts from a variety of fields related to homeland security. The CHDS teams work with requesting government agencies and associations to customize educational content and structure to meet participant needs and objectives.
