Community First Project

Critical incidents don’t discriminate—they can happen anywhere, from the smallest towns to the largest cities. But not all departments have the funding for critical training like CQB, which can make the difference between lives saved and lives lost. We were honored to train the Scituate, MA Police Department, ensuring their officers are better equipped to handle active shooter scenarios and critical incidents. Every officer deserves the tools to protect their community, no matter their department’s size or budget. To the officers who showed up and gave it their all: your hard work is a testament to your dedication to keeping people safe. Together, we’re leveling the playing field and making every community stronger and safer.

Community First Project is making a difference where it counts—by providing life-saving, no-cost training that empowers officers to protect our communities more effectively. This Fort Worth officer's testimony says it all: it’s not just training; it’s a mission that strengthens those on the front lines. Stand with us to support those who put their lives on the line every day. Your support can help bring this critical training to more officers across the nation.

These officers are now better equipped to respond when every second counts—all thanks to you. Together, we can continue bringing this critical training to communities that need it most.

Imagine this: officers moving up a stairwell with limited visibility, zero cover, and an unseen shooter lying in wait above or below. In this confined space, a split-second can mean life or death. When a shooter has the high ground, they hold the power. They can fire down with minimal exposure, leaving officers with nowhere to go. This is one of the deadliest scenarios in an active shooter response. Training our officers for these extreme challenges isn’t just necessary—it’s lifesaving. Every skill learned in situations like these prepares them to face the unimaginable and protect our communities.

In Georgia, there are no required training hours for control tactics training after the academy. This lack of ongoing training in critical skills can compromise not only officer safety but also the safety of our communities. Comprehensive tactics training equips officers with the skills they need to handle tense situations effectively, reducing reliance on force and fostering trust within the community. Investing in ongoing training is essential for a safer environment for everyone. Source: Police1.com

In moments that matter most, the right training can make all the difference. Yet, many officers still lack access to the essential skills needed to handle high-stress situations. We believe it’s time to invest in the future of public safety—because preparedness saves lives. Help us support better training for those who serve and protect.

Behind every badge is an officer dedicated to becoming better, knowing that community safety starts with them. We’ve yet to meet a department that didn’t strive to go above and beyond in their training, ready to serve with greater skill and precision. But the advanced training they need depends on the support of people like you. Your donations make these life-saving courses possible. Help make our communities safer—donate today at C1P.org

Our officers are on the front lines, but shockingly, less than half of police departments have a clear plan for active shooter situations. Every delay, every hesitation, costs lives. We refuse to let them face these threats unprepared. Help us give our officers the training they desperately need to protect us all—because every community deserves safety.
