Regular testing of operational capabilities is key to identifying gaps or needs and ensuring smooth responses when needed.
Its role is to help these agencies coordinate internal and external responses to real world situations or disasters. These situations can include active shooter responses, severe weather events, or large-scale medical emergencies.
In order to help identify strengths, and areas for improvement in their regional active shooter response plan, Bridgewater State University asked SRPEDD to help design and facilitate an Active Shooter Exercise.
The first step was to complete a Tabletop Exercise, with participants from area and state police, fire, and EMS departments to walk through some active shooter scenarios.
An After-Action Report detailing the exercise and it's findings can be found here.
