Multiple law enforcement and emergency personnel agencies participated in an active shooter training at the Monterey Elementary School Saturday.
It was an enlightening experience to witness the emergency personnel work in a potential deadly situation. Pulaski County Sheriff Michael Gayer noted that he thought the overall turnout was a success.
Active shooter training will be taking place throughout the day at the Monterey Elementary School.
This training is to help coordinate emergency personnel in the case of a shooting at a school or business. Those responders participating in today’s event will be using a special radio for communications, but if you have a scanner and you hear of a mass casualty event, personnel are training for such an event and it’s not the real thing. You will see several emergency vehicles on the roads as well.
An active shooter training exercise is planned for tomorrow (Saturday) at Monterey Elementary School.
Beginning at approximately 8:30 a.m. ET, personnel from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, EMS, Pulaski County fire departments, Pulaski County Health Department, Indiana State Excise Police, State Police, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Homeland Security will be participating in a scenario to coordinate efforts in the case of an active shooter situation at a school or business.
Law enforcement agencies across the nation continue to create strategies to help diffuse an active shooter incident in a school or other public place. The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, EMS and all county fire departments will be coming together on Saturday, Feb. 23 to train for such an event at the Monterey Elementary School at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Pulaski County Sheriff Michael Gayer is looking forward to working with all emergency personnel in creating a plan to keep residents safe.
