Thurston County to train first responders for active shooter incident management
“The Thurston Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved on Tuesday, May 24, a contract with C3 Pathways, Inc., a Florida-based training firm for the “Active Shooter Incident Management Basic Train-the-Trainer” course for Thurston County Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Homeland Security partners.
“The Thurston County Fire Chiefs Association, Thurston County Law Enforcement Agencies, and the Thurston County Mass Casualty Incident Committee agreed that there is a need for further training to enhance unified command efforts on the scene during mass casualty incidents, as reported by Thurston’s Emergency Services.
“Thurston’s Emergency Services Interim Assistant Director Ben Miller said C3 Pathways, Inc. would train 70 law enforcement providers and 45 fire and emergency services personnel to ‘enhance interoperability during a mass casualty event caused by an active shooter scenario or an active threat.'”
