Youngkin Announces Funding for a Statewide Active Shooter Response Training Program

Virginia’s Criminal Justice Services Board is awarded $2.4 million for statewide Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training. It educates first responders and civilians on responding to active shooter emergencies. According to the Governor’s office this reinforces that public safety responders are one part of the nation’s emergency management team and civilians can support response efforts when properly equipped with knowledge on what to do in active attack scenarios.
