Deputy Lisa McCumber:
It’s important to enhance your skills. [Shows a trainee with his gun up, walking across the lab.] So, if you
ever have to use them as a first responder in a school shooting situation, [Shows a masked hooded

The text, “Sgt. Brian Blackwell,” is shown on the bottom right corner of the screen] and it’s tough in law

more comfortable they’re going to be in doing that situation.

Deputy Lisa McCumber:
Talk to your children. Know your surroundings. Get your children to understand that as well when they
go to school, to follow the school rules. Think of safety, and encourage your children to communicate
with you. Communicate with your children’s teachers. If you see anything suspicious or concerning, talk
to the teachers or administration in your schools, definitely.
