Department policy is to go to the threat and neutralize it, even if the deputy is alone. This training practices solo, pair and team responses.
The facility being used is an abandoned office building which allows instructors to put on multiple active shooter scenarios.
“We’re going to run guys through different scenarios this afternoon with “simunitions,” some blanks, put you guys in some stressful situations,” Sgt. Matt Hunady told the group at the beginning of the exercise. “There’s been multiple incidents in the last few months with different scenarios that have played out but with school coming back into session, it’s a good time to remind everybody what we’re here for,” Boone explained.
The goal is to save lives by taking the fight to the threat as soon as possible.
