Decision Tactical and Open Gates Match $500,000 State Appropriation to Deliver $1 Million in Active Assailant Training

Funding, spearheaded by Senator Tom Wright and Rep Erika Booth, will make immersive training available at no cost to eligible Florida law-enforcement agencies

Orlando, United States, October 23, 2026 -- Decision Tactical (DTAC) and Open Gates are matching a $500,000 State of Florida appropriation to provide approximately $1 million in active assailant training to law-enforcement agencies across Central Florida. The initiative allows participating agencies to access the immersive training at no cost.

Senator Tom Wright paid a visit to Decision Tactical this week to present the funding check, which will support the immersive active assailant training at the DTAC facility. The funding, provided by the State of Florida, will allow the participating agencies to access the training at no cost.

The initiative is designed to help law enforcement officers strengthen their preparedness, decision-making skills, and response capabilities in critical situations. Through the Open Gates Shield & Shepherd Initiative, the organization supports training and education intended to help law enforcement and communities develop the awareness, response skills, and safety protocols needed before a crisis occurs.

“This appropriation gives us the ability to bring advanced, realistic training to most law-enforcement officers across Central Florida,” said Decision Tactical CEO Remo Eyal. “Already, 96% of law-enforcement agencies in Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties are participating, and agencies from surrounding counties are joining them — seven counties in all. That level of participation gives us an opportunity to raise preparedness and response capabilities across the region and, ultimately, make our communities safer.”

The award also reflects Open Gates’ commitment to supporting proactive safety initiatives. Through Shield & Shepherd, the organization equips law-enforcement agencies and houses of worship with training focused on active-threat preparedness, emergency-response education, life-saving safety protocols, and community protection strategies.
