 The search is on for an active shooter. A chemical and gas leak poses a threat to the surrounding areas. In both cases, first responders doing what they've been trained to do. That training, a critical part of keeping California safe. By keeping California's first responders on top of their game, training that is often held here, the California Specialized Training Institute or CSTI. The California Specialized Training Institute is really a gem in California. It is the state's emergency management public safety training center. And this is very critical and very important for California. You're probably not going to see that weapon in their hand. CSTI was established in 1971 by Governor Ronald Reagan. By 1985, the operation moved out from under the military department and was transferred to the Office of Emergency Services. First responders are required to train for any scenario they could face, like intense firearm training. And no one does it better in California than CSTI. We get an email or a text or a letter and somebody said, what they learned here saved their life. And that's why we're here. It's rewarding. If you're lefty, don't come out of here because what am I doing? To get that integration from people from different agencies, maybe training differently and at one place they're now seeing what we believe is the safest, most legal and ethical training that they can receive. You build confidence after this. What are you guys doing? Develop more strong foundation and reliance on what you were taught and the basics. The better you know the basics, the better you are at doing your job. CSTI holds trainings at their headquarters located in San Luis Obispo, but also take their trainings all over the state to ensure agencies big and small have the opportunity to learn from the best. We've evolved into roughly having over 600 different courses. The training that we provide is in a covers fire, law, emergency management, cyber, military, non-governmental organizations, private sector. We have the ability to train these disciplines statewide. CSTI is celebrating 50 years of training California's responders, but this is only the beginning. CSTI will continue to be around the long time. It's probably more important now than it ever has been in the past with regards to the role of making sure that all of our responders in California are trained, prepared and ready to go for whatever may come at them. All right guys, listen up. To all of the folks that work at CSTI, all of the instructors and the trainers, the administration team, job well done. Thanks for all the work you're doing. Keep up the good work and keep up the good fight. For more information about CSTI and their future training programs, visit our website at caloes.ca.gov and click on the CSTI tab.
