This is a fun filled morning where our school resource officers along with other first responders from around the county line up to greet students as they are dropped off for school. Students are met with smiles, high fives, and even some dancing.

Sgt. Klaerner and his school resource officers are certified instructors through Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT). The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course was designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004. The class provides strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.
