Last week, Howell County Deputies and Jail Staff took part in an intensive Active School Shooter Response Training combined with First Aid/Trauma Care Training to sharpen their skills and prepare for the worst-case scenario, protecting our community’s most vulnerable: our children and school staff.
This hands-on training, focused on real-world scenarios inside simulated school settings. Deputies practiced room clearing, threat neutralization, team movements, and rapid decision-making under pressure.
In addition, staff received vital first responder medical training, learning how to apply tourniquets, pack wounds, and perform life-saving measures in high-stress situations before EMS arrives. These skills are critical in reducing casualties and providing immediate aid during active incidents.
