The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University was awarded $9.8 million to support its Integrated Response Training Program.
ALERRT was granted the funds through the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Preparing for Active Shooter Situations (PASS) program. ALERRT’s Integrated Response Training Program equips police officers and first responders with scenario-based training to safely and effectively handle active-shooter and other violent threats, Texas State said.
“This grant will allow us to prepare law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel across the country to respond to active shooter events through integrated training,” ALERRT Center Executive Director Pete Blair said.
