Active Shooter Training is an unfortunate reality of the times we live in. The safety of every child in Ocean County is of paramount importance to law enforcement. On August 31, 2022, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Stafford Township Police Department, Ocean County Regional SWAT and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office conducted a joint active shooter response drill at McKinley Avenue Elementary School in Stafford Township. Joint exercises like this help test emergency response capabilities and build upon the strong working relationships needed during a real emergency. Thank you to Stafford Township Police Chief Thomas Dellane and to all of the agencies that participated. Special thanks to the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
