It's busy season.

Schools are closed, so we can train to protect our smallest community members.

Over the weekend, we were in Clover, South Carolina hosting an Active Shooter/Tactical Entry Class.

Big shoutout to the Clover School District for the use of its high school.

A testimony from a participant:
"Regardless of an officer's experience, this training was both humbling and incredibly beneficial. No one is above this class, as it should be widely accepted as the standard."

In attendance:
Clover Police Department
City of York Police Department, SC
Rock Hill South Carolina Police Department
Catawba Nation Division of Public Safety
Newberry County Sheriff's Office
Cleveland County Sheriff's Office

Our biggest motivator? Keeping our community & officers safe.

Maize USD continues to put our children and its staff first by participating in Active Shooter Response trainings, hosted by USDSA, while the kiddos are still out for the summer.

Thank you to all the staff, teachers, administrators & officers that will be safer because of their forward and innovative thinking.

We work to create life-like experiences using some of the latest technology to test the limits.

Steger Police Department in Illinois received a Halligan Entry Tool.

A Halligan entry tool helps police officers quickly open doors or remove obstacles when every second counts during emergencies. Having this tool available helps officers reach people faster and provide assistance when the community needs it most.
