Agencies to Receive Active Shooter Response Training at UW

More than 100 regional law enforcement officers will participate in active shooter response exercises July 21-23 at the University of Wyoming War Memorial Fieldhouse.

“We want to alert the public to alleviate possible concerns people might have about the training,” says Mike Samp, UW Police chief. He says the area will not be accessible during the training, and that signs will be placed in the area of the Fieldhouse to inform the public when the training takes place.

“Uniformed officers and marked patrol vehicles will frequent the area,” Samp says.

The UW Police Department will lead the training exercises.
