We train, of course, in active shooting situations. We do a lot of range training. [Cuts to a close, frontal

to, whether it’s in a school or in someone’s home in the community.

Trainee 1: Shots fired
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
figure walking in the hallway, firing off his firearm in multiple directions] or any other situation, you
want to be able to take the threat out and provide safety for the kids. [Deputy Lisa McCumber appears
and takes down the masked hooded figure.]
Sgt. Brian Blackwell:
We try to take this time that we have, the ability to use this school and this facility, to drive home the
fact that we want them to be vigilant when they’re needed, [Close frontal view of Sgt. Brian Blackwell.
The text, “Sgt. Brian Blackwell,” is shown on the bottom right corner of the screen] and it’s tough in law
enforcement to have to switch on and off, to be able to be that kind and gentle person when you need
to be. However, when it’s time to flip that switch, [Shows multiple trainees in the hallway practicing, and
checking rooms] you have to flip your switch and be vigilant, and obviously the more we can train, the
more comfortable they’re going to be in doing that situation.
[Close, frontal view of Deputy Lisa McCumber standing in a hallway.]
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.
