Orange County to host active shooter drill

Posted

The New York State Police, Orange County Sheriff’s Office, and Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus, in collaboration with the Orange County Emergency Management, Orange-Ulster BOCES Department of Health and Safety and local law enforcement and first responders, will hold an active shooter drill at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, November 8.

The drill, which will be staged on the Orange-Ulster BOCES campus in Goshen, is not open to the public.

The training exercise will focus on emergency response to an active shooter incident on campus and will involve a simulation of law enforcement response to an active shooter. It will help assure a coordinated, timely and effective response in the event of a major incident.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police encourage county residents to take advantage of the Active Shooter/Hostile Event program they continue to offer to the public at no cost.
