Active Shooter Training Underway for Texarkana Police Officers
Now that a new school year has begun, the Texarkana, Texas Police Department is fully aware of the recent school shootings that have threatened our communities all across America.
TTPD officers have been going through vigorous training exercises to learn what to do if a Texarkana school were to have an active shooter occurrence. Parents want to know that when they send their kids to school they are in a safe environment. The stress of worrying about a child after the recent shooting in Uvalde, Texas has given every parent the right to know if their child will be protected in light of a similar situation.
