The Oklahoma Highway Patrol began valuable training this week as a first step toward complying with Governor Kevin Stitt’s Executive Order, Mission: Secure Oklahoma Schools. The order directs all State Troopers to complete active shooter emergency response training by January 1, 2023.
All troopers have already received some form of this training, but this latest effort is designed to enhance that training and equip dozens of troopers as designated trainers. These trooper trainers will then take the training back to their respective parts of the state and train other troopers and law enforcement agencies.
OHP is utilizingAcademy of Counter-Terrorist Education for this training. The National Center for Biomedical Research and Training provides high-quality training to emergency responders throughout the United States. Their course, “Law Enforcement Active Shooter Response,” is designed to enhance the response capabilities of law enforcement. All LSU/NCBRT/ACE courses are certified by the Department of Homeland Security.
