Police, deputies, state and federal agents and other law enforcement officers spent a few days at Georgia Southern University this week, shooting simulated weapons and reenacting real-life scenarios as they participated in an active shooter training exercise. According to Bulloch County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jared Akins, more than 60 law enforcement officers from his department, Georgia Southern University police, Statesboro police and Brooklet police, as well as from the Statesboro offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Georgia Bureau of Investigation and other local agencies, were trained during the four-day event led by the FBI and hosted by GSU at the College of Business Administration building. The “Active Shooter Response” training consisted of two classes, where officers were “trained in tactics on how to respond should the area ever be faced with such an event” as an active shooter, he said.
