The Commerce Police Department led an active shooter training this week at Commerce Middle School, bringing together multiple agencies from across the region for a joint preparedness exercise.
Officers from Commerce PD, Jefferson PD, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, and Gainesville PD participated in the training, with support from Commerce and West Jackson Fire Departments and Jackson County Emergency Services. The goal is to strengthen response tactics and improve coordination in the event of an active shooter situation.
The department thanked Commerce City Schools for allowing the use of their facility, emphasizing that exercises like this are only possible through strong community partnerships.
Officials say that multi-agency training like this helps ensure a faster and safer response, ultimately making both the City of Commerce and Jackson County more secure.
