command, coordination, school safety, emergency management, public communications, pre-
incident and post-incident process, and traumatic support services.

“Everyone agrees that our children and grandchildren are the most important thing to us and
we should take every step to protect them. We want to be sure and support our school system
and make sure our first responders know what to do when facing critical situations. This and
like training helps our people get ahead of the curve in confronting those situations,” Sheriff
McAllister stated.
