Today, members of the Madawaska Police Department and U.S. Customs and Border Protection joined forces for intensive active shooter response training.

Because the safety of our schools, students, and staff is paramount, our top priority is ensuring we are fully prepared for the unthinkable.

Today’s exercise focused on advanced tactics, including room and hallway clearing, rapid approach, and neutralizing threats. To make the scenario as realistic as possible, role-players and live simunitions were utilized.

A special thank you to CBP Instructors Gagnon and Albert for leading this vital session, and to the Madawaska School Department for providing a wing of the High School to accommodate this training.

~Stronger together for a safer community.
