NOT BE ANY SHOPPING AVAILABLE. LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT STRESSED THAT THEY TRAIN FOR THESE KINDS OF EVENTS ROUTINELY, SO MUCH SO THAT IT BECOMES LIKE MUSCLE MEMORY. AND THEN SAY IT’S EVOLVED AND NOW INCLUDES SPECIALIZED TRAINING, IMMERSING OFFICERS IN AN ENVIRONMENT. SO THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. KETV NEWSWATCH 7 SARAH FILI IS HERE WITH THAT. SARAH. EVERY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY ACROSS THE STATE HAS REQUIRED TRAINING, AND MANY METRO AGENCIES SAY A GOOD CHUNK OF IT IS SPENT ON ENCOUNTERING AND DE-ESCALATE OR TAKING ACTION AGAINST A PERSON WITH A GUN. THEY SAY THAT TRAINING IS PART OF WHY THE SITUATION AT TARGET LEFT NO VICTIMS BESIDES THE SUSPECT. THERE IS YET. WHERE’S THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SAY THE MAJORITY OF OFFICERS WILL NEVER FIRE THEIR WEAPON ON THE JOB. BUT AT LEAST TWO OMAHA POLICE OFFICERS HAVE SHOT AND KILLED TWO SUSPECTS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. THAT WAY, SYSTEMS LIKE THESE, THE VIRTUAL SIMULATOR, OFFER OFFICERS THE CHANCE TO MAKE THOSE SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS IN TRAINING BEFORE THEY’RE PLACED IN A REAL LIFE ENCOUNTER.

AND THAT’S THE IMPRESSIVE PART OF IT, IS THERE WAS SO MUCH COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION. AND ON THAT TRAINING SIDE OF THINGS, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW WE ALL REACT TO THOSE SPECIFIC TYPE OF THREATS, BOTH AGENCIES STRESS PROTECTING YOURSELF, STAYING AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND CALLING IN ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS. THOSE CRUCIAL MINUTES BEING ON THAT FRONT END, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT TAKES A FAST RESPONSE, YOU KNOW, A QUICK AND PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY TO TO GO IN AND ACT EASILY. YOU’VE HEARD BILL COHEN IS HERE AND ALEX NOW MENTIONED THAT ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING IN SCHOOLS AND TARGET’S OWN EMPLOYEES BEING TRAINED ON ACTIVE SHOOTERS. LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYING THAT PAYS OFF IN MOMENTS OF PANIC. THEY SAY MENTALLY REHEARSING A PLAN CAN HELP YOU KNOW WHAT TO
