Events

Session will cover the basics of how Albertans receive alerts, how alerting works in Alberta, different types of alerts, when we send alerts, when we don't send alerts, what makes an impactful alert and so on.

There is no certification offered for this event as it is an information only event.  A review of the steps required to become an alert issuer will be taken and we will provide attendees with the necessary resources for the group.

To become an authorized alert issuer with AEA, alert issuers have to be nominated by Sr Officials within their local authority to issue alerts on that communities (or authority's) behalf. To become an alert issuer, we have a 7 hour online training course, followed by minimum training/practice reps before gaining access to the live alerting system.

The AFRRCS Technical Administrator course provides students with the knowledge behind the technology that comprises AFRRCS, how the system operates, and the skill to configuring an AFRRCS agency. Hands-on exercises guide students to configuring an agency from scratch by creating talkgroups, voice end users and subscriber units.  

The AFRRCS Crypto Officer course draws upon the concepts from the Technical Administrator course for agencies who intend to utilize secure voice encryption and over-the-air rekeying.

Both Technical Administrator and Crypto Officers are instructor-led courses offered by AFRRCS at no cost.

**The Technical Administrator Course allows you to activate and deactivate subscriber units (radios) that are connected to AFRRCS ie. enable/disable for users with RCMP talkgroups**
