Delaware Active Threat Response

The Criminal Justice Institute has introduced a transformative course, Delaware Active Threat Response, set to become a mandatory requirement for all state constables in Delaware. Modeled after the FBI’s renowned ALERRT training, this program provides constables
with advanced skills to effectively respond to active threat situations, raising the bar for public safety across the state.

“This course is specifically designed to prepare Delaware state constables as first responders capable of isolating, distracting, and neutralizing an active shooter,” says CJI Director Dr. Ray Carr. “The curriculum includes critical components such as shooting and moving, threshold evaluation, principles of team movement, room entry techniques, crisis site approaches and breaching, secondary responder tactics, improvised explosive device awareness, and post-engagement priorities. The training concludes with dynamic, force-on-force scenarios to ensure practical application of these skills.”

This comprehensive program underscores Delaware’s commitment to proactive and effective law enforcement training.
