Altadena Sheriff's Station hosted a muti-agency Active Shooter training at Eliot Middle School today. Sheriff Stations from the San Gabriel Valley, Pasadena Police Department, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department worked together in several active shooter scenarios that simulated realistic problems involving an active shooter. The training was conducted by the LASD Master Field Training Officers and was supported by Altadena Station Volunteers. Also on hand were Jail Custody Deputies and Explorers that acted as role players. (photos by LASD Volunteer Deb Halberstadt and Captain John Benedict)
