🚨 Training for the unexpected. Preparing for the unthinkable.

Last week, USC DPS personnel joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) and Transit Services Bureau (TSB) for an intensive active shooter training exercise at the historic former Los Angeles County General Hospital.

Teams worked through three realistic, fast-paced scenarios focused on communication, coordination, and response during critical incidents. Exercises like these provide valuable opportunities to train alongside our law enforcement partners, strengthen relationships, and enhance our ability to respond when every second counts.

We are grateful to LASD for hosting this training and for the continued partnership that helps keep our communities safe.
