HOSTING REQUIREMENTS

To host a class, your accredited law enforcement agency or military must provide an approved facility for the training – a vacant office building or school building with wide hallways and multiple rooms off the hallways (for the scenario based training). The facility must be unoccupied during the training. Before scheduling the course, you must complete a Site Survey that will be provided by our staff - describing the facility in which the training will be held. Registration for the class will begin upon facility approval.

Each class must have a minimum of 20 students and a maximum of 30. 24 is the ideal size for a class. The host agency is responsible for filling the classes with the minimum number of students no less than 21 days before the class begins.

The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center (ALERRT) will provide four certified instructors, all materials and equipment, for the class. We will handle all on-line registration through our online partnership with TEEX and we will certify all classes and post hours to TCLEOSE.

We will schedule two 16 hour classes in each location – generally a Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday/Friday class (but that is negotiable)- in order to make the most efficient use of the equipment that we ship to your location. We also want to teach as many of your officers as possible without taking everyone off shift at the same time – and encourage the host agency to invite other agencies in the area to participate.

(Private sector training is available for approved corporations and agencies. Please contact our Director of Training for information and quotes)

Texas Agencies: Interested in HOSTING a class?
We have scheduled our Texas classes for FY07, using the funds awarded this year, but have started a waiting list for FY08. These Texas classes are underwritten by the Texas Office of the Governor - Criminal Justice Division
and will be delivered at no cost to the host agency or participants.
Contact us to get started.

Non-Texas Agencies: If you are interested in hosting ALERRT training, contact The ALERRT Scheduling Team , for possible funding options and details. We have earmarked the FY07 funding that has already been awarded for out-of-state training, through the US Bureau of Justice Assistance, but at this time we are compiling a waiting list of non-Texas agencies interested in ALERRT courses. Please include your agency name, city and state when corresponding with us. Contact the ALERRT Scheduling Team to be added to our list.
