The Suffolk County Police Department will be holding an active shooter drill at the former Briarcliff Avenue Elementary School in Shoreham on September 18.
In the department’s continuing effort to prepare for an active shooter or emergency, police officers from SCPD and associated agencies will take part in an eight-hour training that includes tactical and medical care instruction.
Since the start of the new school year, SCPD officers have responded to approximately two dozen school threats. While patrol remains enhanced around schools, parents and students are reminded of the severity of these threats. The department also utilizes SHARE and the RAVE panic button that schools participate in.
