The course manual says 'a first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field.'
UVALDE, Texas -- According to ABC News, the six member police force for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District went through active shooter training just two months before the massacre at Robb Elementary.
The course manual details the priorities for school-based law enforcement and explicitly says that first responders"will usually be required to place themselves in harm's way and display uncommon acts of courage to save the innocent." Solo responses may also be required, especially in small and rural districts.
"We explain that very clearly when we employ them," Jacksonville ISD Police Chief Bill Avera told ABC13."That your first priority is to protect life and limb on your campus and you could be the person doing that by yourself. We will get help to you as quickly as possible. Know the cavalry is coming but in the meantime, you're the first responder.". In Uvalde, 19 officers entered the school but stayed in the hallway, DPS Director Steven McCraw said on Friday.
