The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) located at Fort McClellan, Alabama is operated by the United States Department of Justice to train emergency responders to acts of terrorism. This is the only facility in the World that trains emergency responders using live nerve agents sarin and VX. The CDP recently graduated its 5000th responder. At a ceremony on April 27th Lt. Lawrence Speck of the Warren, Michigan Fire Department was honored as the 5000th responder. For further information about the training at CDP, contact robert.burke@att.net.
