Faulkner County Sheriff's Office was honored to be able to host the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Exterior Response to Active Shooter Events (ERASE) course this week at our new Weaver Range Training Facility. ALERRT instructors travel from around the country to facilitate this course, which is designed to prepare first responders from multiple agencies for an open-air active shooter encounter. It covers a wide range of tactics and techniques for addressing an exterior armed aggressor including cover equipment selection, vehicle ambushes, medical emergencies, vehicle and dismounted officer/citizen down rescue, individual/ team movement techniques, and emergency vehicle crisis response. 

 

The ERASE course provided an excellent opportunity for many local agencies to work together to improve training efforts for citizen safety. We strive to collaborate effectively with agencies of all types and sizes to better protect and serve the citizens of Arkansas during a crisis event. The ERASE Training this week included officers, deputies, and tactical medics from many jurisdictions around the state of Arkansas. 

Faulkner County Sheriff's Office would like to express our appreciation to ALERRT, City of Guy Police Department, Hope Police Department, Conway Police Department, North Little Rock Police Department, Pafford Medical Services, and others who assisted with this course and allowed representatives from their agency to join us for this important training opportunity.
