RedAlert Platform
Find out before the certification lapses, not after
Course records, certification expirations, and event attendance in the same system as everything else you keep on your members. RedAlert warns you before a certification runs out via automated notifications, captures drill attendance without a clipboard, and produces the documentation an auditor, a state office, or an ISO reviewer actually asks for.
Expirations you see coming
A lapsed certification is a staffing problem, a liability problem, and sometimes a grant problem. Finding out after the fact is the worst version of all three.
RedAlert tracks certifications with expiration dates on the member record and warns you in advance, so recertification gets scheduled rather than discovered. Because certifications sit on the same record as response history and attendance, you can answer questions that cross them. Which members are ninety days out from expiration. Which of those are your most active responders. Which shift is about to be short a driver-operator.
Attendance that isn't a clipboard
Drills, trainings, and meetings are scheduled on the department calendar, and attendance is recorded the way that fits your department. An officer checks members off the list in RedAlert Desktop or from a phone in RedAlert Mobile. Members can also check themselves in at the RedAlert Kiosk before the event starts.
Members can also use RedAlert Mobile or the Kiosk to sign up in advance for upcoming events, so an instructor knows the headcount before the night of rather than counting heads in the bay.
Training hours that count for something
Training and drill attendance feed your LOSAP, pay-per-call, stipend, or points program under the same rules as call response, so a member's training participation shows up where it matters without anybody maintaining a second list.
The same records answer the questions that come from outside. ISO reviews training hours closely. Grant applications ask for them. State offices audit them. Because the hours were captured as they happened and live next to everything else on the member record, producing that documentation is a report rather than a project.

Common questions
How do we know before a certification expires?
RedAlert tracks expiration dates on the training record and warns you in advance via automated notifications through push, SMS, or email channels, so recertification is scheduled rather than discovered after the fact.
How is drill attendance recorded?
Whichever way fits your department. An officer can check members off the list on the drill record in RedAlert Desktop or from a phone in RedAlert Mobile. Departments running the RedAlert Kiosk have members check themselves in by fingerprint or key fob, inside a window tied to the scheduled event, which is what makes the record verified rather than reported.
Do training hours count toward our award program?
Yes. Training and drill attendance feed point, stipend, and pay-per-call calculations under your program's rules, alongside call response and duty hours.
Can we attach certificates and course documents?
Yes. Certificates, course materials, and any other supporting documents attach to the training or certification record, so the paperwork lives with the record it belongs to instead of in a filing cabinet.
What reporting comes with it?
Built-in training and compliance reports ship with the system, and Alpine builds custom ones when your state office, ISO reviewer, or grant application wants something specific. Because training lives in the same database as incidents and personnel, you can also report across them, which a separate training system can't do.
How do members sign up for upcoming training?
At the Kiosk or via RedAlert Mobile, in advance. Events on the department calendar are available for sign-up, and officers can see who's committed before the session happens.
