TOLEDO, Ohio — Friday was the last day of the three-day training.
Toledo teachers and police were the ones learning lessons on Friday afternoon, as they received critical training at Start High School.
Friday's lessons were part of ALICE training, which is a safety training program to help ensure schools have the skills they need to keep students and the community safe.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate, and the training is intended to help school and police personnel proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event.
Toledo police officers and school administrators were at Start High School to learn from safety experts on how to keep students safe in worst-case scenarios.
"What we're learning here is to be alert. To be proactive if there's an active shooter, an intruder in the building," said Dr. Carnel Smith, principal of Scott High School. "It's a lot of different scenarios that we are practicing, rehearsing and discussing to better prepare ourselves."
Toledo police also learned tactics and techniques they can use to better police and protect the community. Part of the training involves acting out scenarios such as what to do if a student brings a gun to school, when to lockdown, or how teachers and administrators should respond to an argument among students.
