Being proficient with a fi***rm is great but also consider physical fitness to better respond to stressful confrontations. You’re never too old, I believe. I’m over 50. Doing something is always better than doing nothing.

There is soooo much truth to this! If your Instructor isn't vigorously seeking out additional training all the time, that is a problem!

Today begins our annual active shooter response training at our four Calera Schools. This week we will be at Calera Middle and High Schools.

Our training is a bit different than most. We train to stop the shooter as rapidly as possible with random groups of 1-3 Calera officers and SROs. I believe that this most accurately replicates what will happen if we ever deal with such an event. As we have seen repeatedly, these events must be stopped as quickly as possible to save lives. We know that help is coming but what happens in the first few minutes is vital and our goal is to train our officers to have the knowledge and confidence they need to take out the threat.

We also encourage our patrol, admin and investigative staff to randomly visit campuses throughout the school year. Those with intent to harm our students will never be sure just how many armed officers they will face.

Confidence is built through repetition and familiarity using realistic scenarios and equipment. We will be training throughout the summer at all four schools. (Chief Hyche)
