Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training is the national standard in preparing first responders for an active shooter. After inaction by police was exposed during the Uvalde mass shooting, ALERRT has taken on added significance. via KBTXNews

SAN MARCOS, Texas - By the end of the week, nearly all Brazos Valley students will have returned to class, but this school year may feel different than last.

“If people are dying on the other side of the door, time is life. The more efficient and effective our breach is, the faster we can get in there and mitigate the threat,” said Woitena when explaining why this training was so important, especially for patrol officers who may be the first on the scene of an active incident.

After Uvalde, it was Governor Abbott who urged school districts to participate in the ALERRT training. “We have been participating in this program for several years now,” said Bryan ISD Executive Director of Operations Ron Clary. “When it comes to safety, it’s not one person’s responsibility, it’s not the responsibility of the department, it’s everybody’s responsibility - whether you’re an administrator, custodian, teacher, bus driver, everybody has a role.”

The program includes 16 hours of training in team movement, room entry techniques, approach and breaching the crisis, shooting and moving, as well as post engagement priorities of work. The vital training has been shown to shorten response times and strengthen law enforcement abilities.
