Neillsville Patrol Officers Recently Trained With Ballistic Shields by Clark County Sheriff Patrol Captain

Thursday, June 30th, 2022 -- 1:00 PM

Neillsville Patrol Officers were recently trained by a Clark County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Captain with their ballistic shields.

At one time, ballistic shields were reserved for SWAT and other specialty teams. But now, they recognize the need to make ballistic shields readily available for patrol officers. When ballistic shields are accessible, they can be quickly deployed and regularly utilized. 

The  training covered the types of calls for service and circumstances where a handheld shield is useful and ways to use them effectively during building searches and room clearing.
