BACKGROUND:
The Police Department recently completed active shooter training conducted by the ALERRT Center
from Texas State University.. Active shooter training is a program developed to prepare officers to
respond to and deal with the national epidemic of school and mass violence. Go Bags are used in the
response to a scene of a school or mass violence incident. When an officer responds to a school or
mass violence incident, they must without delay "Go" to the'incident to stop the problem and render
aid to the victims. The Go Bag contains medical supplies, and other simple items that an officer
would need to aid victims of a violent incident. The Texas Tactical Peace Officer's Association
(TTPOA) realized that police officers needed one bag equipped with medical and tactical equipment
to expedite their response to an active shooter. The Go Bag was created by the TTPOA to assist
officers. The TTPOA (North Richland Hills, TX) is the sole source of the Go Bag. This procurement
