Across multiple regions, law enforcement and educational institutions are enhancing their preparedness for active shooter scenarios through various training exercises. In Calhoun County, Alabama, an active shooter training exercise involved collaboration among law enforcement, fire, and EMS teams to improve inter-agency coordination (WBRC). Meanwhile, Bossier Parish, Louisiana, introduced a new technology called 'Click to Enter' to streamline law enforcement access during emergencies at schools (KTAL/KMSS). In Lancaster County, South Carolina, a significant joint training drill was held between law enforcement and school officials to ensure mutual understanding of roles during a crisis (WSOC-TV). Additionally, UNC-Chapel Hill is now requiring all faculty to complete active shooter and emergency training in response to a past shooting incident, aiming to better prepare instructors for potential emergencies (Herald Sun). These initiatives reflect a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive training in the face of increasing concerns over school safety and active shooter incidents.
