“The Wareham Police Department has taken a proactive approach regarding training and tactics around active shooter and mass casualty events.
Over the past several months, a team of Wareham Police officers along with firefighters from the Wareham and Onset Fire Departments have hosted a multi-agency active shooter training program. The training program is A.L.E.R.R.T (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training), an Active Attack Integrated Response Training Program (AAIR) www.alerrt.org. The Municipal Police Training Committee of Massachusetts (MPTC) has now adopted this training curriculum and it will be implemented in upcoming recruit academy classes across the Commonwealth.
