The Helena Police Department and the Mountain States Tactical Officer’s Association would like to announce a 40 hour Train-the –Trainer course in  “FIRST RESPONDER TO ACTIVE SHOOTER” instructed by The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training  (ALERRT PROGRAM).

 

The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) program stands at the national forefront of active shooter response by providing first responding police officers from across the country with the skills to stop the violence committed by homicidal/ suicidal subjects, such as active shooters in schools, and domestic and foreign terrorists.

 

 Our 40-hour Train-the-Trainer course takes this important training a step further. Participants who successfully complete the ALERRT Train-the-Trainer course can go on to teach other law enforcement officers at their agencies with support from the ALERRT program. This Train-the-Trainer course will train a select group of 25 law enforcement officers who are experienced in police training, firearms training, and/or tactical methods and includes the following:

• The first two days have the participants complete the basic active shooter 16-hour course.

• The third day is devoted to teaching methods and instructor training.

• The fourth and fifth days are focused on teach-backs, remediation and evaluation of the participants.

 

The goal of the First Responder to Active Shooter course is to aid patrol officers - specifically the true first responders - in their ability to safely and effectively respond to, address, and stop an active shooter. Our primary objective has been to provide high quality, dynamic first responder training classes utilizing “force-on-force” training techniques to law enforcement patrol officers and military police.

 

The ALERRT program has been training first responding law enforcement officers since 2002. As we began our FY08 training year, we had trained more than 13,000 law enforcement agents. Additionally, we have certified more than 200 instructors through the ALERRT program

since 2002.

 

This course will be held April 21st thru 25th,2008 in Helena,Montana. There is a block of rooms reserved for this course at the Ft Harrison Hotel. Rooms are either $18 or $22 there. For reservations call 406-324-3355 and advise that you’re with the Active Shooter Training Course.

 

There is no registration or course fee. The only expenses that are anticipated are hotel accommodations and per diem. Those expenses are the responsibility of the course attendees. We need to have a class roster to ALERRT by April 1st, so register soon. Late registrations will be accepted if not full. The class is limited to the first 25 registrants. POST approval for this course is anticipated and in the process.
