New SWAT Tactics for School Shootings
Here is an exclusive look at the latest police & SWAT tactics for violent Columbine-style school shootings and intruder attacks. This full-scale exercise at a high school in Utah shows how Federal training for school staff now allows schools to partner up with local first responders and improve school safety. New technologies turn basic school radios and surveillance cameras into tools that help police and SWAT teams achieve the pinpoint accuracy of a smart bomb when it comes time to neutralize violent offenders. This video was produced using only the amazing unrehearsed radio dialog that was captured during the exercise and the synchronized video footage caught on 8 different surveillance cameras mounted outside and in the school hallways. As you follow the shooters you will notice exercise facilitators operating the smoke machine and dispensing ammo to the perps as they take hostages. The maneuvers of the three law enforcment teams seen here are based on the information they receive moment-by-moment, with no scripting. You will hear the school principal help provide crucial behind-the-scenes support so that the teams can quickly box in the gunmen before rushing through the last door to take them down.
