Tomorrow (Thursday Aug. 28th)
POLICE TRAINING: The Florence Police Department will be conducting active threat training, known as ALICE Training, on Thursday, August 28th at Siuslaw Elementary School.
There will be Police signs, reader boards, and police tape at the school indicating that a training is taking place. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate and trains how to respond in an active threat situation that can help reduce injuries and save lives.
Due to the nature of this type of training we know that some of the activity you may see could be upsetting or cause concern, so we want our community members to be aware. Thank you for your continued support of the Florence Police Department.
These trainings are in cooperation with the Siuslaw School District. The purpose of these trainings is to continually familiarize Officers with facility layouts, train new officers, and to best prepare the Department for active threat scenarios.
Training notices are posted on the City's website at https://www.ci.florence.or.us/police/active-threat-training.
