    Recognizing and Identifying Domestic and Homegrown Violent Extremism is an awareness-level course that explores violent extremism in the United States. As the incidence of domestic and homegrown violent extremism rises, it is critical for all first responders to recognize the ideology and indicators of violent extremism. Responders must be aware of and actively seek to protect these rights while protecting themselves and the communities they serve. This course describes the radicalization and recruitment process and extremists’ tactics to carry out their missions. Participants will consider their jurisdiction’s baseline activity and how activity outside baseline patterns could indicate violent extremist activity.
