Emergency Response, First Aid & Campus Security, Module 2

Online Security Officer Training Module

Modern security professionals are often the first line of response during emergencies. This module prepares security officers to act decisively, lawfully, and safely during fire incidents, medical emergencies, and campus security situations—before outside responders arrive.

Built for real-world conditions, this training emphasizes prevention, prioritization, and professional judgment in high-stress environments.

Fire Safety & Hazardous Materials Awareness

Security officers play a critical role in fire prevention and early response—especially when fire services are delayed due to access issues, weather, or resource constraints.

In this section, students learn how to:

• Identify and report fire hazards before incidents occur

• Respond to small, controllable fires using appropriate methods

• Reduce escalation by removing nearby fuel sources when safe

• Shut down utilities safely when required

• Assist with evacuation procedures and perimeter control

• Protect life and property until fire services arrive

Training emphasizes situational awareness, safety-first decision making, and clear coordination with emergency responders.

Basic First Aid & Medical Response

During emergencies involving injury or mass casualties, security officers must act quickly and efficiently. This module introduces foundational medical response principles designed to help officers stabilize situations and preserve life.

Students will learn:

• Prioritization principles for multiple-injury scenarios

• How to recognize and respond to life-threatening conditions

• Basic care for bleeding, shock, and airway obstruction

• How to assist victims when professional medical help is delayed

• The importance of calm, controlled action under pressure

This training reinforces the role of security officers as critical support personnel during medical emergencies.

Campus Safety & Security Fundamentals

Security environments on campuses—both higher education and K-12—present unique legal and operational challenges. This section focuses on the professional responsibilities of security officers assigned to campus settings, with an emphasis on compliance and reporting obligations.

Topics include:

• The role of private security in campus environments
