Texas HB 33 (2025) requires various public entities, especially law enforcement agencies, public/charter schools, and municipalities, to enhance school safety through mandatory training, better emergency plans (EOPs), specific equipment (like ballistic shields), improved communication, and mental health support, with Public Information Officers (PIOs) needing certification by 2026, all aimed at better active shooter response and prevention, notes the Texas Legislature Online, Armor Exchange, Policy Engage, and Legiscan.

Who Must Comply?

    •    Law Enforcement: Municipal Police, Sheriff's Offices, Constables, School Police, and the Department of Public Safety (DPS).

    •    Educational Entities: Public School Districts, Charter Schools, and Public Junior Colleges.

    •    Municipalities: City governments.

    •    Emergency Services: EMS providers.

    •    Public Information Officers (PIOs): Employed by the above entities.

Key Requirements & Actions:

    •    Training & Drills: Mandatory for law enforcement, with ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) certification for shield-carrying officers.

    •    Emergency Plans (EOPs): Develop/update multi-hazard plans, security reviews, and incident reporting procedures.

    •    Equipment: Ballistic shields (Level III+ or IV) for ALERRT-certified officers.

    •    Communications: PIOs must get emergency communication certification from TDEM by Sept 1, 2026.

    •    Mutual Aid: Enter agreements for coordinated response.

    •    Mental Health: Develop support systems for responders and students.

    •    Grants: Law enforcement can apply for grants to meet these new standards.

In essence, any agency involved in public safety or operating schools in Texas needs to implement significant changes to align with HB 33's comprehensive safety mandates.

Good afternoon, Community Partners,

Training Opportunity – Please share!

Join us for a Psychological First Aid (PFA) training that will be hosted at Corpus Christi–Nueces County Public Health District. 

 Training Details:

•             Date: Friday, January 30, 2025

•             Time: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (all-day training)

•             Location: CCNCPHD Auditorium, 1702 Horne Road, Corpus Christi, TX 78416

About the training:

Psychological First Aid is an evidence-informed approach that teaches practical, compassionate skills for supporting individuals in the immediate aftermath of a crisis, disaster, or traumatic event. Similar to physical first aid, PFA focuses on reducing stress, promoting calm, enhancing safety, and connecting people to appropriate resources. It is designed for responders, volunteers, and community members and does not involve providing therapy. These skills are valuable anytime, anywhere, and with anyone.

The training is free of charge, and lunch will be provided. Because food and materials must be planned in advance, RSVPs are essential. If you commit to attending, please make every effort to be there or if you need to cancel, please contact Moriam Ojelade at MoriamO@corpuschristitx.gov

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.  Thank you and we hope you’ll take advantage of this valuable learning opportunity.
