Police training held in Hallie McKinney

April 14, 2012

By David Reagan, staff writer/photographer

 

Police barricades blocked off the entire west side of Hallie McKinney for law enforcement training exercises Thursday, April 12. No one other than training participants was allowed past for any reason due to a “live ammo hazard.” The abandoned second and third floors, once dorms, were opened up to create a multi-level playing field for the shooters.

 

A blue team clears the stairwell before entering the second floor of Hallie McKinney's active shooter scenario. Officers from Tishomingo, McClain County and Madill police departments as well as Choctaw Travel Police participated in the SWAT-style training exercises held Thursday, April 12. This was the second multi-agency session of the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training, or ALERRT, in Oklahoma this year.
