Over the past several years, over 500 Precinct 4 deputies have been certified in the active shooter training, according to a release. Every year, several ISD, local, and state law enforcement agencies join Pct. 4 in this training. However this year, ISD school marshals were invited to attend and they also trained alongside law enforcement to prepare to respond to active shooter events.
