Following receiving post 9/11 training for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense, O’Rourke’s area of expertise rapidly evolved in the Incident Command System, the National Incident Management System and Crisis Management.  He received his Chemical/Biological training from Louisiana State University, Radiological/Nuclear training at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Explosives training at New Mexico Tech and Weapons of Mass Destruction Tactical Commander training from Louisiana State University.  
 He holds an associate’s degree in business management from York College of Pennsylvania, a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership from Eastern University, and he is a graduate of the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command and several executive leadership programs at Penn State University.
