Larchmont PD to Conduct Shooter Training at Local Schools
The Larchmont Police Department will participate in training next week as part of their ongoing efforts to prepare for any potential school violence at area schools.
The Village of Larchmont Police Department will be conducting active shooter training at several local schools during the Feb. 18 winter break, Larchmont Police Chief John Poleway announced at Monday's village board meeting.
Active shooter training helps police and other law enforcement officers to prepare for situations involving workplace or school violence, similar to the Newtown, CT tragedy.

"It is our intention to be as prepared as possible in responding to any serious emergency so that we may minimize potential injuries and any negative impact that may occur," said Poleway.
