COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Several Mid-Missouri law-enforcement agencies are taking part in active-shooter training at the Community R-6 school district until the end of the week, the Audrain County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Wednesday social media post.  

The post said the training occurred Wednesday and would last until Friday.

“Passersby and residents will notice a large law enforcement presence at those schools on those days,” the post says. “There is no need for alarm or panic, and we thank the school district for the partnership we share in efforts to provide a safe environment for learning in our communities.”

Area law enforcement participating in the training includes the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Audrain County Sheriff’s Office, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Mexico Public Safety Department and Hallsville Police Department, the post says.
