“This drill will have students and staff locking down and some groups will be evacuating the building. Members of Auglaize County CERT will be closing down portions of the roadway during the practice drill,” the sheriff’s office said on its Facebook page.
They stated that the training’s purpose is to “test and enhance the cooperation and readiness” of law enforcement during an active threat.
“We hate that this kind of training is necessary - but being prepared is part of keeping our community safe,” the sheriff’s office said.
Wapakoneta City Schools said normal school operations will resume after the training.
