The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with Woodstock School District 200, provided Active Shooter Response training to Sheriff’s deputies and several local police departments during this past week, June 3-7, 2013. Joining Sheriff’s deputies in this training were police officers from Harvard, Huntley, Woodstock, McHenry County College, and McHenry County Conservation District.
This past week’s training prepares responding officers how to respond if McHenry County ever had an active shooter. “Police officers from various agencies often train together; this improves our coordination should something like this ever happen. More importantly, it allows all of us to better serve the McHenry County Community,” said Undersheriff Andrew Zinke.
This training is regularly conducted by the Sheriff’s Office. The training provided this week has evolved through the years as a result of case analysis and advanced police tactics.
