How America Trains Its Officers to Respond to School Shootings

- According to the Department of Homeland Security, an active shooter is “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.” These deadly events happen about 18 times per year in the Unites States. Active shootings are distinct from mass shootings, which are defined as incidents where four or more people are shot.
After the shooting at Columbine High School, The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center was created to instruct police officers in active-shooter response. Contributing producer Kelly Loudenberg went inside ALERRT courses to uncover how the nation is attempting to respond to the recent rise in mass killings.

I attended the Alerrt Training last year, and learned a lot, True Realistic training. Great training I would definitely recommend to others. By the way, the training is FREE.
I’m an EMT and I hope to god that I never have to respond to one of these.
Newt Meadors 9th Texas Infantry what's an EMT
it happens and it's scary and sad and RD an EMT is where he takes hurt people to the hospital
RD Freestylers Emergency medical technician
Newt Meadors 9th Texas Infantry even if you do, you’ll be authorized to treat the injured after the threat has been nuteralized by authorities
God bless all in this video class
Thank you so much for all that your doing to prepare people for what can happen.
Waiting for police response is really foolish. An armed, trained staff member could react much much faster.
Average police response time is 3 minutes. In an active shooting there are 3 stages (ADD) Avoid. This means run away if you can do not try to be a hero. Deny. Deny access for the shooter to enter your room if you cannot run away. This means barricade the door so the shooter will have difficulty to enter the room so the shooter will move on. Lastly Defend. This should ALWAYS be your LAST resort if you cannot run away nor barricade yourself. You use every resource that you can use as a weapon to take the weapon away.
Robin24 don’t be stupid...average response time for law enforcement in active shooter is NO WHERE NEAR three minutes. Hell, it took SWAT 47 MINUTES to respond to Columbine. You are your own first responder... prepare as such.
I know it’s training but pause at 2:19
They need to watch we’re they are pointing the guns directly at each other! Salute to our first responders though they go through a lot!
I carry my glock 17 every where I go
At 7:05 why is the second man pointing a gun at the head of the first man?
Really great program but it sounds like it costs a lot and a lot of officers won't get that training. Damn only if there was some way to get guns out of the hands of these shooters. Welp guess there's no solution.
Let’s not forget about the firemen and EMT’s who also have to respond to shootings!
Fireman amd EMT’s usually stage outside have stuff ready for when police bring victims out since it is too dangerous for these people to go inside. However if you go to Miami police youtube channel you can see that they are trying to incorporate emt’s to go inside with police officers after the first police crew is clearing the building
Rescue Task Force teams, made up of two of officers and two firefighters/emts enter the warm zone to start triage and life threatening care to victims. The days of waiting outside for pd to clear a building and bring victims out are over. Every dept needs to train their members in TECC and RTFs.
I was ALERRT certified in 2019. I think its time for a refresher course
The training is always updating. I took it 5 years ago and then 2 weeks ago. There are some differences.
@@brianhetzer8421 yeah then it sounds like I need the update
GOD Bless you in the name of JESUS CHRIST
🤦 free shock doctrine 🤘🤑
R.i.p to the people from Florida
I’ve been in multiple Alertt Training from different departments a lot of them teach them differently.
That sucks. When I trained for ALERRT the point was to be on the same page with a lot of responding agencies you may have never worked with before. You should be able to have work interoperability PD, SO, DPS, Constables, Fire marshall, shouldn't matter. You should all be on the same page with ALERRT that's the whole freaking point.
@@stephengregory1655 When I took Active Shooter course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s in Charleston S.C they taught it that way to be on the same page with other agencies, but the two day ALERTT course that different local agencies host had their own version on how they taught it.
@@jeromewilson2949 sorry to hear that brotha. They aren't doing right by y'all putting their own twist on things.
Here they've been pretty consistent as far as the actual materials and procedures. Maybe not the quality, but that's to be expected
4:06 I’ve never been a doctor or a cop bud does that turnoquit look too close to the wound
Generally you want the tourniquet to be as close to the top of an extremity as possible, in that instance that looks like it’s as close to the top as it can get, it may just be the wounds proximity
It's as high as it can be.
I want to be a police officer and i pray that i never need to respond to a shooting.
TheRedSpot same
Isn't "School Shootings" part of class like chemistry?! :p
Wouldn’t this help train the shooters
Azriel Shakur No, it's only available for law enforcement officers
AugustoJM 18 I think he means that the shooter can outsmart this training
That is crazy?!
So how many active shooters has this training stopped, like how they portray the scene?
This is why I wouldn’t live in America
Own a gun and defend yourself
Som Boi doesn’t matter if u at school
Margery Stoneman was a drill gone live. These drills at the locations of the schools while kids are present should be banned to prevent them in the first place.
Listen to the kids own testimonies they said they were told to go out side they were herded to go a certain way it was literally a drill gone live. They were told they would have a drill that day.
Holy lack of rear security!! Good lord! Never heard of silhouetting the door?! Never heard of the high ready?! Never heard of pieing your corners?! Never heard limiting your signature near cover?! Never heard of clearing your corners or work space?! God damn people. I could go on.
I could go on about use high ready when pieing around a corner. Dude was laying on the ground pointing a gun at me when I walked in. My gun was high up and my forearms blocked my view resulting in me getting shot. There is no perfect way to do things. A foundation needs to be had, I agree but each situation calls for slightly different tactics, however, the foundation should remain the same. Also, don’t be so critical, this is training. If these were instructors doing this that would be one thing. They are learning. Let them learn. If they get shot in training from lack or rear security, they will have rear security in the future. Just like when I was shot in training by being at the high ready like you said, I was shot in the chest. I don’t pie at the high ready all the time, however, I don’t completely eliminate it either. Situation dependent.
OOF OOF OOF
Rather than doing this make a strict gun control
not how it works man ban "assault" rifles people will use pistols. ban all guns people will use knives like the isla vista incident. or even get guns illegally. saying that guns are not allowed in certain places does not create a force field that doesn't let people with guns in. you can never prevent anything but you can always prepare.
