A post on the GRPD Facebook page stated, “In a combined effort to refine Emergency Drills within the School District and align with a more coordinated and realistic response in the event of a real crisis. GRPD and other Emergency Services will be responding to all emergency drills. We want this to become the new protocol for conducting emergency drills. This will be a new learning process between the District and Emergency Response Personnel. The purpose of this new response protocol is to determine the most effective communication and emergency procedures so emergency personnel can arrive on scene as quickly as possible.”

The drills will be conducted at different schools within Sweetwater County District #2, and no times will be announced, making the response as realistic as possible.
