2019 Active Assailant Drill

JULY 2ND, 2019

Kirksville RIII Schools

This exercise is a full-scale exercise, planned for 8:00 a.m. (check-in) to 3:00 p.m., at Ray Miller Elementary School on the Campus of the Kirksville RIII School District in Kirksville, Missouri on May 30th, 2019.  Exercise play is limited to this location, and nearby satellite staging areas, in accordance with parameters specified in this document.

Although exercise play will involve law enforcement quickly resolving the active threat, this exercise is designed to more fully assess inter-agency collaboration/communication, school response, care of the injured (including warm triage) and patient transport. If the Exercise Director determines that time allows, player assignments will be shuffled and a narrowly focused second effort will assess individual component(s) of the original exercise, as recommended by Exercise Staff.
