Ingham County Sheriffs and Stockbridge Police partnering for Area Active Violence Incident training this week

The Ingham County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Stockbridge Police Department and the Stockbridge School District for active violence training at Stockbridge High School on Friday, July 26, at 9 a.m.

There will be a large first responder presence near Stockbridge High School for the training that day. The public is asked to avoid the area if possible.

Law enforcement, fire personnel, dispatch, and school employees will participate in a scenario to improve communication and readiness should we face a future incident.

We certainly hope the training is never needed but we must be prepared given the prevalence of these incidents throughout our country.

Stockbridge Police Chief Matthew Bartus stated “The Stockbridge Police Department’s top priority is the safety of our students. We are grateful to be able to collaborate with the Stockbridge Community Schools and Ingham County Sheriff’s Office to create this exemplary school safety training.”

 The media is welcome to attend; there will be a staging area for them.
