VIDEO: In this day and age, active attacks are becoming more common. Those attacks can range from a mass stabbing, explosives, hostage situations โฆ and more.
Thatโs why law enforcement in Caddo Parish prepare for any type of active attack. But itโs not just for those who carry guns. The training also included the Shreveport Fire Department as well as dispatchers โ so they can work together to be prepared. This is just the first phase of the training.
Once itโs complete, they will move on to the next part. A variety of tools were used to get deputies ready for the unexpected. โSo equipment used besides the officersโ trauma kits and whatnot is a gunshot simulator โ simulates gunshots, but it also makes it safer for role players,” said Caddo Parish sheriff’s Cpl. Marc Herring. The purpose of this training is for law enforcement to learn life-saving techniques to help victims get to the hospital faster.
