FASTER is sponsoring the gun training seminars for Colorado teachers and administrators. The three-day course helps familiarize teachers with their arms as well as teaching them how to deal with a shooter at a school. Faster stands for Faculty/Administrator Safety Training and Emergency Response. It was created in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy and developed to enable teachers, administrators and other school employees to stop school violence quickly and administer medical aid immediately.
