ORIGINAL STORY: On Monday, Boone County Emergency Management will hold two active assailant training events.
This is so multiple law enforcement agencies can prepare for an actual emergency and practice communication between agencies.
The first training event will be held on Mizzou’s Campus at Laws Hall. The hall is located at the corner of Tiger Avenue and Kentucky Boulevard. The training is scheduled to go from 2-4 p.m.
Three law enforcement agencies will then stay in the area for prolonged training until about 10:00 Monday night. You can expect to see SWAT teams, crisis negotiators and an armored vehicle in the area.
The second training event will be held in Ashland at Southern Boone County Elementary School. The training is scheduled to go from 6-8 p.m.
Emergency Management said it has been planning this event for 8 months. It also told our crews this training is very important as it gives different agencies a time to communicate and work together in case an active shooter situation were to happen.
Agencies will practice on-site incident management operations, getting those are injured to safety and treating on-site injuries.
The MU police department will be just one of the law enforcement agencies to participate after creating an active shooter training video earlier this year.
EMS crews and the fire departments will also participate in the event.
Officers are asking the public if they see a heavy presence of law enforcement around those designated training times to not be alarmed and do not call 9-1-1.
