Police brass from South Bay colleges and universities gathered Thursday to discuss Monday's gun scare at West Valley College in Saratoga and the lessons learned from the incident.
On Thursday, the chiefs spent time learning from that police response and provided their input.
"We're going to talk about what went well, what we can do better," Profio said."The whole point of that is making sure the next time something happens, we can always perform the best that we can." The group studies other incidents as well, like last month's shooting on the Michigan State University campus, where three students were killed and five others were injured.
Nearly all colleges and universities have their own police departments or security force. The group said, unfortunately, an active shooter situation is always in the back of the minds. "They’re the types of things that keep us up at night, worried about it, trying to prepare for, and trying to practice as much as possible to be as prepared as we can," Foothill-De Anza Community College District Police Department Chief Danny Acosta said.
