Sheriff’s office conducts active shooter training From staff reports Dawson County Deputies recently com pleted three days of active shooter training designed to better prepare them for ever increasing active shooter threats. The training focused on responding to school related violence. Although the training was primarily oriented towards initial responding School Resource Officers and Patrol Officers, it included members from all components. “Realizing that active shooter situations have become more prevalent, it’s important to constant ly prepare our officers, both mentally and tacti cally,” said Dawson County Sheriff Jeff Johnson. To make the training more realistic, it was con ducted in the Dawson County Middle School. Scenarios included active shooters, barricaded sub jects, non-threating actors, fleeing student actors, and other distrac tions. The drills were pur posely designed to elevate the stress level of the offi cers in order to better pre pare them. Simunitions were used to increase the realism of the training. Simunitions training incorporates real istic, non-lethal force training. “Simply put, the bad guys have the ability to engage the good guys with force on force train ing. It encourages officers to make good use of cover and make sound tactical decisions. Thankfully, most deputies escaped with minimal injuries,” said Johnson. Donned with protective gear, the deputies respond ed to simulated calls for service occurring within the school system. Deputies Photo for the Dawson County News Officers from the Dawson County Sheriff's office practice clearing the building during a recent active shooter training at Dawson County Middle School. were provided with mini mal information regarding what was occurring. “Our deputies are not trained to stage, if an active shooting is occur ring. Our policy and prac tice is to respond immedi ately. Whether it is a lone deputy or more, we are not waiting. We are here to protect our children and our community,” explained Johnson. In addition to the active shooter training, deputies participated in group building clearing exercis es. “It was a good opportu nity for members from various components to work together in elevated stress situations. The real ity of the situation is that any and all available sworn deputies will respond to an active shooting. They will prob ably be responding with other deputies, whom they may have had little opportunity to train with,” Johnson stated. The summer vacated school building provided an ideal setting to con duct this training. While our officers are trained on a simulator, having the ability to place them in an actual school proved very beneficial. "The training was a good opportunity to develop strong basic fun damentals in order to cre ate a foundation for more advanced techniques offi cers can utilize in connec tion with other first responders who might have to deal with these high threat situations," said Capt. Ray Goodie, lead instructor for the drill. “We are appreciative to the Dawson County Board of Education and Superintendent Damon Gibbs for partnering with us to accommodate this training. It is our desire that this training become, at the least, an annual training event,” said Johnson. Buying, Building or Refinancing?
