In the Westchester County Police Academy we spent 2 days doing active shooter training. 1st day was all classroom 2nd was hands on training inside of a school. IMO it was good training but not enough of it. In Yonkers about 50% of us went though 2 days of active shooter training given by Home Land Security. IMO by far the best training i went though so far as a cop. YPD goal is to have the whole department going though this training.

I do not know where your info comes from.
NJ Police did respond into the Mall prior to SWAT teams arriving.
The first Patrol cars did not wait for SWAT teams to arrive, the first cops did enter the mall and begin to clear and evacuate the Mall.
When it became apparent that this was a "perp search" and not an active shooter, it reverted to a SWAT operation.
A Perp search and an Active shooter are two different scenarios with different tactics.
