Colorado Springs police and firefighters to travel to Georgia for advanced combined training, according to the statement,” It does get us out of our ordinary comfort territory.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV )- Colorado Springs second responders will get the chance to take part in innovative cooperative education at a state- of- the- art facility over the weekend. On May 5, 12 police officers and 9 rescuers will go to Guardian Centers near Perry, Georgia, for five weeks of aggressive, advanced training. ” Everywhere from active shooter to effective hostile to various casualty incident, MCI response type scenarios,” said fire Cameron Halverson. It’s all geared toward real-world scenarios that have already occurred in the area and have already occurred throughout the country, which is unfortunate because that’s how things are right now, so it’s a better place to be prepared for the next major tragedy to strike our city. Officers and fire personnel work well together when they are present, according to Colorado Springs Police Department employee John Havenar. He said,” This kind of dials in those skills and that reaction so that we can be most successful and make those befriends.” The hospital, according to those with the Colorado Springs Police Foundation, is unique because it can be reconfigured to place crew in real-world training situations. President Nicole Magic remarked,” They are going to truly recreate our city,” and it is an absolutely unique service. Funding for the vacation is coming from the Police Foundation, including airfare, lodging, education, meal, and more. ” It’s all- equitable, the office pays absolutely nothing for the fireplace and authorities to go to this education center”, Magic said. According to Magic, the cost of the education far outweighs the benefits to the area. Because our second firefighters are trained at a higher level, she said, making our area safer.
