The training curriculum is through the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center. "This partnership will provide the national standard for active shooter training throughout the state of Missouri, which betters law enforcement and makes communities safer," said Dr. Bill Sandel, assistant professor of criminology and criminal justice at Missouri State. MSU will facilitate the training with funding from Missouri Department of Public Safety. Missouri DPS awarded MSU $50,000 through the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program to support the training.
