FASTER stands for Faculty / Administrator Safety Training and Emergency Response. We are an organization dedicated to keeping children safe while they’re at school. FASTER supports arming teachers, staff, and administrators by offering world-class firearm and emergency response training. When school boards and charter school boards authorize employees as security officers under Colorado Revised Statute 18-12-214 (3)(b), there is required annual training and annual re-qualification. FASTER Colorado provides that training, and in many cases, exceeds the annual training required by the school’s or the district’s insurance company. Armed school employees are not intended as a replacement for law enforcement and EMTs. Instead, they can save lives by being there —at the point of attack. Armed school security teams are the real first responders. They can save lives until law enforcement and other emergency responders arrive. FASTER Colorado is a non-profit that raises money to deliver the necessary training to school districts, charter schools, and private schools, especially in their early years of their armed security programs.
