On March 1, 2003 CDP transitioned from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CDP was subsequently included in the new DHS Preparedness Directorate. Enactment of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA) on April 1, 2007 resulted in the realignment of most of the DHS Preparedness Directorate functions to FEMA. FEMA established the National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) and aligned many of the former DHS Preparedness Directorate functions into the NPD, to include the CDP. The CDP is a national training facility located in Anniston, Alabama, that prepares state and local emergency response personnel to respond to all hazards, including terrorist attacks using weapons of mass destruction, by providing advanced, hands on training.

Training classes delivered by the CDP provide specific knowledge and expertise for deterrence, prevention and response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents; mass casualty incidents; and incidents involving hazardous materials by providing advanced, hands-on and classroom-based state of the art training.
