Valdosta State University's director of police receives nationalcertification
Scott Doner, director of University Police at Valdosta State
University, has completed certification as an Incident Command
Systems (ICS) instructor from the U.S. Department of Justice and
International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators
at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne, Va., in
December.
Doner was one of 70 applicants who applied to be in the first-ever
class of ICS training instructors. After a three-day evaluation
period conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Office of
Domestic Preparedness, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, among others, Doner was one of
only 16 selected for the two-week ICS training conducted in early
December.
"It is a privilege to be selected, and is a great honor and
opportunity to become an instructor," said Doner. "I credit my
background and training for this prestigious award."
Doner received his training in counter bio-terrorism at Louisiana
State University and his emergency preparedness and university's
risk and threat assessment training at Texas A&M University. He
has also attended the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Law
Enforcement Executive Development program, received training from
the Center of Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Ala., and is
certified in National Incident Management Systems. Furthermore,
Doner is an instructor in weapons of mass destruction for the U.S.
Department of Justice and a senior instructor trainer for the
Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.
Doner has taught courses at colleges and universities throughout
the United States, Canada, and Africa. The new certification allows
Doner to teach additional types of training, such as the ICS class
he is teaching at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, January
23-25, to law enforcement agencies and fire departments in the Las
Vegas area.
