WILLCOX
LAW ENFORCEMENT DRILL: On Tuesday, July 28, the Willcox Police Department, in conjunction with the FBI, will conduct training at the Willcox High School campus, beginning at 9 a.m. through late afternoon. Officers from numerous agencies throughout southeastern Arizona will participate in active shooter training, designed to teach the safest and quickest methods to take back a school, business, shopping center, or other areas where people are concentrated, from hostile shooters.
Law enforcement officers will move through the school with weapons which will have been rendered safe by certified law enforcement firearms instructors, in search of another law enforcement officer acting as a hostile shooter.
To provide a more realistic environment and help recreate conditions that officers may encounter, the training will utilize 20-40 school age students and school staff as role players for the scenario.
During this time, it is requested that members of the public DO NOT attempt to enter the high school campus, and do not become alarmed by the activity that may be heard or seen from time to time.
