PERU, IN- All Miami County emergency services remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of our students, staff, and visitors. As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe learning environment, an Active Shooter Response Training Exercise will be conducted at Peru Junior/Senior High School on October 15, 2025. On that date, the presence of emergency responders is not an indication that there is a public threat. If, on that date, there is a threat to the public, local emergency agencies will notify the public via social media and through local radio stations.
Purpose of the Exercise: This training is designed to prepare both our school communities and emergency response agencies for critical situations by practicing effective response strategies. It is a proactive measure to strengthen safety protocols and ensure that everyone knows what to do in the unlikely event of an active shooter incident.
Key Details:
· This will be a scenario-based exercise involving all county emergency response professionals.
· No live ammunition or dangerous materials will be used during the training.
· Emergency vehicles and personnel will be present around the school during the exercise. Please remember this is only a drill.
Public Notice: We kindly ask the public not to stop by the training site to allow emergency personnel the space they need to conduct this important exercise.
