No worries, I didn't take it as such anyway :cheers2:
troglodyte wrote: Mon Jun 18, 2018 11:40 amI'm kind of frustrated that schools aren't very interested, and more so with those that allow carry. I would think that schools that allow their faculty and staff to carry would be clamoring for the "Official State Certification" so they would have that in their defense. I trained one school that were more advanced and better trained than what the School Safety course offers but they wanted it in their hip pocket in case something happened.
I feel you - I'm amazed that this course isn't more popular given how valuable it is, but I'm convinced that it's because there's no "push" from State officials or bodies to publicize it to schools as a valid thing. As I said, I didn't even know it existed until recently.

Chas.
Sure hope so - it deserves to be.

I’ve broken even, so that’s good. I was just expecting a little more interest. Maybe with time, and unfortunately, further incidents.

I also have it posted on my website.
Sorry, I should have been clearer - I meant promoted by DPS and /or Texas State Board of Education to schools ie. at an official state level to generate demand.

Aside from my interest in the subject-matter itself, a bonus for me was that the qualification is kept on record by DPS - sort of like an advanced LTC certification - so that might be another avenue to promote this cert.

Because it's poorly-promoted - period.


Heck, I'm a gun- and training-enthusiast who works at a school and I hadn't even HEARD of this qualification until I just *happened* to catch Scott B mentioning it in a sub-forum I rarely look into.
