Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wants Texas State University’s Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center to instruct first responders in the state to more effectively respond to active attack events such as the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde last month that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

A letter to the center’s executive director, Pete Blair, instructs Blair to begin rapid response training programs at all school districts across the state.
