More FTA:

The lessons learned from Columbine led the US Justice Department and other federal agencies to partially fund an active shooter program known as Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training, or ALERRT, Schweit wrote.
The training, which was developed by the San Marcos, Texas, Police Department and the Hays County, Texas, Sheriff's Department and adopted by Texas State University in San Marcos, includes a 16-hour course that "prepares first responders to isolate, distract and end the threat when an active shooter is engaged," according to Schweit.

The DOJ was involved. Any local law enforcement departments that didn't adopt these policies was deficient. I don't know if there was any established policy in Broward County, (and I don't know how to search for it) but if there wasn't, there should have been.

I'm pretty sure they would have been aware of the changes.
