Williamson County Deputies Complete Active-Threat Response Training

Sheriff's office trains for the worst so responders aren't guessing when it matters

By Verna Slate, Williamson County Bureau

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. — Williamson County sheriff's deputies have completed active-threat response training, according to kbsi23.com.

The training is meant to prepare deputies to respond quickly and effectively if an active-threat situation were to unfold in the county — the kind of drill nobody wants to need and everybody's glad gets done anyway.

The department did not release further specifics on the training's scope or schedule, and the source report did not specify where in the county the training took place.
