PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - “Ever since Columbine changed the way we do
everything. Not waiting on SWAT, we don’t have that time,” said Training
Coordinator Officer Scott Johnson.
This is a two-part operation. First, police neutralize the threat. Then, fire
rescue is brought in to treat any victims. “There’s formation we have to
learn and communication back and forth. That’s the biggest key learning
how to communicate. We’re learning that they’re protecting us while we’re
doing the job of saving lives,” said Captain Charles Chandler with the St.
Lucie County Fire District.
For the staff at Renaissance Charter School, this is also about being
proactive. “It’s very important for us to prepare not only mentally but
physically and look at our safety plan and look for holes to ensure our
students are safe,” said Principal Christiana Coburn.
