ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING The Lompoc Police Department, in collaboration with the Lompoc Fire Department, conducted active shooter training at Maple High School. This event enabled both departments to unite in a fresh approach to handling crisis situations. A primary goal of the drill was to foster a robust partnership between police and fire responders. While the exercise provided an opportunity for our departments to evaluate their performance, the hope is that such scenarios will never occur in real life. However, should the need arise, both the LFD and LPD will be prepared.
