uh oh, another "surprize" drill, this time on public college campus.

Too bad there didn't happen to be some guy with CCW on him, or some random off duty cop. Then maybe Sgt Henoch could have gotten shot.

Attitude leaves a lot to be desired but there is a point to be made here. in Colorado students who have a concealed handgun permit are ABSOLUTELY allowed to carry on campus (I carried every day in college) I could seen this drill really not working out well.

The name of the event UC Davis PD puts on is called "Active Shooter Survival Workshop" and you have to sign up for it (and you have to be staff). Many departments and private companies do the same thing. The people who sign up for the workshop know what it's about. I've attended this kind of event before, and have a similar event coming up next month that me and several college staff members will attend.

This is NOT the same thing as an unannounced active shooter drill on campus (which is stupid). This is a demonstration in a controlled environment with staff who signed up for the specific instruction.

ended up with staff suing for 'emotional distress'.

I remember being of the opinion that employees dealing with public(especially in emotional setting), or even fellow employees, should be required to sign off that they are able to handle a 'scare' without being emotionally damaged. Obviously, front line guards would be the type you would want to have sign off as "emotionally durable" as they are often targets of grief from public.


I've heard of similar the hospital takeover but it was years ago.
