On Wednesday, July 11, a multi-agency law enforcement exercise was conducted at The College at Brockport to help prepare first responders for nightmare scenarios. First responders from across the area participated in an active shooter exercise.
The College’s University Police Department and Office of Emergency Management teamed with agencies throughout Western New York to organize the activity. The training took place inside Benedict and Dobson Halls, two residence halls located on Holley Sreet. The exercise called for law enforcement to neutralize a fictitious “active shooter” inside the halls. It also allowed other first responders to simulate real time decisions for police, medical response and transportation.
Agencies that participated were: The College at Brockport University Police, The College at Brockport Office of Emergency Management, Brockport Ambulance, Brockport Fire District, Brockport Police Department, Monroe Ambulance, Monroe County 911 Center, Monroe County Department of Public Safety Communications, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, New York State Police, Ogden Police Department and Strong West.
