Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with
Government Training Institute, Inc., subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and City Attorney, to provide the Active Shooter Training Program to first responders in the
Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, Office of Grants and Training has developed
the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding program. This initiative was designed to enhance
the domestic preparedness of urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate and appropriate training, exercises and equipment to prevent, respond to, and recover from
acts of terrorism. Santa Ana has been designated as an Urban Area Core City for the ninth year. The
City of Santa Ana has fiscal responsibility for the FY11 UASI Grant for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban
Area (ASAUA) which encompasses 34 jurisdictions in Orange County.
The ASAUA Urban Area Working Group (UAWG) has identified regional active shooter training
program as a priority for public safety agencies in Orange County. The tactics, techniques, and
procedures (TTPs) adopted by the Orange County regional UASI Active Shooter Training Program
are designed to prepare public safety first responders to react to an active shooter event - both
homegrown/domestic threats and terrorism based events. These TTPs are based on SWAT, HRT,
and military Special Operations tactics that have been modified for public safety personnel working in
the Field Operations environment. Prior to being selected as the tactical model to be taught these
TTPs were evaluated and selected by experienced public safety personnel. This tactical model was
then presented to the UAWG and accepted as the UASI regional active shooter training model. The
ASAUA seeks to continue its active shooter training program by entering into an agreement with the
Government Training Institute, Inc. to provide active shooter training in compliance with the TTPs.

This comprehensive training program will better equip public safety personnel with the skills they
need to respond to an active shooter event. In addition, the program will train local instructors in order
to build a training cadre which can continue training additional personnel and maintain perishable
skills.

competitive bidding process. The RFP 13-005 was issued February 12, 2013 and two qualified bids,
one from Government Training Institute and one from Andrews International, were received by
closing date March 5, 2013. The bids were reviewed by representatives of the urban area and
Government Training Institute, Inc., received the highest scores based on experience, curriculum and
costs.

SECTION I
SCOPE OF WORK
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to identify a suitable vendor to support the Active
Shooter Training Program for the Anaheim / Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA). This vendor will
be responsible for working with the stakeholders in the Urban Area to train public safety
personnel on how to respond to an active shooter event and train-the-trainer on how to deliver the
training with the input and coordination of the Urban Area's stakeholders. The selected vendor
shall provide an active shooter training curriculum that is DHS approved.
1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The support requested for this active shooter training program will be paid in part or in full with
funding from the United States Department of Homeland Security's Urban Areas Security
Initiative (UASI) grant. Funding from this grant is applied to homeland security related training,
exercises, equipment, and projects in the Anaheim / Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA). The
ASAUA is comprised of the 34 cities and two universities in Orange County, California. The
Santa Ana and Anaheim Police Departments alternate fiscal responsibility for the grant.
The ASAUA Urban Area Working Group (UAWG) has identified regional active shooter training
program as a priority for public safety agencies in Orange County. The tactics, techniques, and
procedures (TTPs) adopted by the Orange County regional UASI Active Shooter Training
Program are designed to prepare public safety first responders to react to an active shooter event -
both homegrown/domestic threats and terrorism based events. These TTPs are based on SWAT,
HRT, and military Special Operations tactics that have been modified for public safety personnel
working in the Field Operations environment. Prior to being selected as the tactical model to be
taught these TTPs were evaluated and selected by public safety personnel with decades of public
safety experience in the field, as SWAT operators, and as Army Special Forces operators. Most
importantly these evaluators have years of practical experience teaching and utilizing these tactics
in actual lethal threat environments. This tactical model was then presented to the UAWG and
accepted as the UASI regional active shooter training model.
The ASAUA seeks to continue its active shooter training program. The training program consists
of three parts. They are as follows:
1. Three-day comprehensive active shooter training course is designed to train line level
public safety personnel on the tactics needed to respond to an event. There will be a
combination of lecture to review the tactics and exercises to demonstrate practical
applications of tactics. There will be up to 4 courses delivered, 30 students per class,
before December 31, 2013. At a minimum, the Proposer shall provide one instructor for
every 10 students.
2. One-day refresher course is a condensed version of the three-day training course. This is
aimed at refreshing the skills of public safety personnel who have taken the three-day
course in the past. There will be up to 27 courses delivered, 30 students per class, before
December 31, 2013. At a minimum, the Proposer shall provide one instructor for every
10 students.
25C-12
3. The train-the-trainer course is aimed at building a strong cadre of local instructors who
can provide active shooter training at their local jurisdiction or work collaboratively with
other trainers to put on regional training for law enforcement personnel in Orange
County. This course can be incorporated into the three-day training and one-day training
courses in order for trainers to get hands on experience in teaching the tactical model and
facilitate training from start to finish. This course will train up to 20public safety
personnel before December 31, 2013.
This comprehensive training program will better equip public safety personnel with the skills they
need to respond to an active shooter event. In addition, the program will train local instructors in
order to build a training cadre who can continue training additional personnel and maintain
perishable skills.
1.3 TACTICAL MODEL
The Proposer shall provide an approved DHS curriculum that follows this tactical model.
Through this proven tactical model public safety personnel will be able to take immediate action
to protect victims and bystanders while quickly locating, isolating, and eliminating the active
shooter threat(s).
This tactical model utilizes the following TTPs:
• Double or single stack formations - dependent on hallway space/configuration.
• Cross coverage - maximize target acquisition and minimize threat angles.
• Blocking - ensure safe entry into rooms or past thresholds by eliminating opposing threat
angles.
• Room entries - depth and width, limited depth and width, and strong wall entry
techniques.
• Open area movement - crossing potential threat areas when advancing on a building or
moving between buildings.
• Rear security and exiting buildings - survival in the 360 degree threat environment.
This training must be predominantly hands on - preparing students to take action with limited
assets in an active shooter environment; students must be able to operate in one, two, three, and
four officer elements. The training must create a high intensity, high stress realistic atmosphere
where public safety personnel must respond to varying situations with varying levels of support
(number of public safety personnel immediately available and patrol based weapons systems).
The students must be able to respond to both known shooter locations as well as determine an
unknown shooter's location, and effectively handle single shooter and multiple shooter
environments.
For the three-day training the Proposer shall provide a half day of live fire range training. This
training will include:
• Instruction in the Principles and Fundamentals of pistol marksmanship
• Instructor explained and demonstrated drills for the following:
o Handgun drills starting with static shooting for accuracy to drills ultimately
culminating in shooting while moving in width and depth.
o Carbine drills starting with static accuracy, use of iron sights and reflex sights,
culminating with shooting while moving in width and depth.
• All drills will be designed to support techniques taught during the entry portion of the
course.
25C-13
The Proposer shall work with local instructors and subject matter experts to update and revise the
tactical model to meet the needs of the region. The Proposer shall be expected to expand on the
above-noted components where appropriate, and provide suggestions which might lead to
efficiencies and enhance the results or usefulness of the tactical model. The final tactical model
will be approved by local instructors and subject matter experts the ASAUA selects as reviewers.
1.4 TRAINING MODEL
The Proposer's training model shall follow a "crawl, walk, run" training philosophy where
limited instruction is initially given to the students in the classroom environment utilizing a
PowerPoint presentation and discussion; no more than 2 hours. This presentation will explain the
TTP's utilized in the active shooter tactical model. The classroom presentation will be followed
by tape drills designed to demonstrate, reinforce, and evaluate the student understanding of the
TTP's. Following the tape drills the students will conduct dry runs through a structure, further
developing and refining their understanding of the TTP's.
Student training will transition to scenario based training, involving exercises of increasing
tactical complexity. Students will start with simple single room clearing exercises involving
Simunitions and paper targets (both threat and non-threat targets); these scenarios will emphasize
depth and width room entry tactics - squeezing-up, clearing hard corners, moving to points of
domination, and index/re-index of the room. As student understanding of the TTP's evolves the
scenarios will incorporate follow on rooms, and hallway movements - double/single stack, cross
coverage, and blocking will be emphasized. When appropriate force-on-force use of Simunitions
will be incorporated into the scenarios; threat and non-threat role-players will be utilized in these
scenarios.
