As of the summer of 2010, the ALERRT program had been presented to more than 28,000 law enforcement agents in geographic regions across the United States since its inception. This figure represents direct delivery by our staff, and does not include the "second generation" officers who have been trained by certified trainers who have completed our Train-the-Trainer program for Active Shooter Response.

In the first two years, we taught 100 active shooter response classes to more than 2,140 law enforcement officers from 284 agencies throughout Texas and the nation. In FY 2005, those statistics more than doubled, when we taught 118 classes to more than 2,500 law enforcement officers from 293 agencies. Today, we have seven types of training in our catalog, all based in the principles of Active Shooter Response.
Basic Active Shooter Response Course- 16 hours
Train the Trainer Course - 40 hours
Advanced Train the Trainer Course - 40 hours
Rural Operations (FORT) Course - 24 hours
Breaching Course - 16 hours
Low Light/CQB Course - 16 hours
Active Shooter Response - Medical - 16 hours

As the program has continued to grow, the demand for this training continues to outweight the supply, but we are constantly seeking avenues for funding and resources to help bring this vital program to communities across the nation.

The actual impact of our program is difficult to measure. This course is designed for response to extremely violent situations. Feedback obtained from course evaluations overwhelmingly indicates that officers feel safer, better trained to handle violent crimes and are making their communities safer through improved response to violent crimes in progress, as well as improved tactical team movements, rescue team tactics, and building search methods.
