Great Falls Fire Rescue, Great Falls Police Department, and Cascade County Sheriff’s Office are joining together and adopting a new protocol to respond to active shooter threats.
This new protocol is called the Rescue Task Force City and County commissioners will be voting on Tuesday and Wednesday to approve the task force.
“We had to have the training so those expectations are figured out, the relationships on what we’re going to do at the scene are figured out, how we run the program, how we organize it how we run it, so that’s important,” said Great Falls Fire Chief Steve Hester on the training from almost two months ago. “If we get that off on the right foot then any incident always goes better towards the end.”
