Another training session for area first responders will be held on Saturday, September 24 at Saint Clair Community College in Port Huron.
The training is made possible by an almost $28,000 grant awarded to the Port Huron Police Department by the Office of Community Policing Services (COPS for short), as the grant aims to help enhance school security.
Participating agencies include the Port Huron Police and Fire Departments, Tri-Hospital EMS, Central Dispatch Authority, SC4 Security Personnel, the St. Clair County Homeland Security & Emergency Management,and the Marysville Police Department.
The training will focus on preparing area departments and personnel to handle active shooter events, such as how to respond, engage and stop the threat of an active shooter, as well as how to secure the scene and help rescue workers administer aid.
Due to the training, those traveling near SC4 will see a large number of emergency vehicles on and around campus on Saturday. Many of the participating agencies in this training also participated in two sessions in early August.
