Janesville Police and Fire Departments and media personnel recently gathered at the Janesville Police Department for a news conference on local law enforcement response to the threat of school shootings. JPD Sergeant Benjamin Thompson says since 2000, they’ve provided over 5,000 hours of rapid response training to their officers. Thompson says that’s generally entailed one to two active shooter rep response type trainings a year. He says they have one at Franklin Middle School July 11 and 12 all their officers will go through. They’re also sending all their officers to alert level one training which is 16 hours of training over two days. They’ve sent 67 officers and have four sessions remaining they’ll send the rest of their department through. The conference was Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.
