Parents came out to Chippewa Falls High School Monday night to hear from police on how they would respond to a critical situation.
The forum had representatives from the Chippewa Falls police and fire departments as well as from other local schools to discuss what the plan would be if a crisis like an active shooter event were to happen.
“There’s no innocence. Right. Innocence has been removed from schools,” said Lt. Brian Micolichek with the Chippewa Falls police department.
He coordinated the presentation, and says it was necessary to have that difficult conversation with parents. “There’s been a lot of incidents happening nationwide that I feel that in talking to the parents, that they’re not always aware of how the school and the police departments train together,” said Micolichek.
He outlined what the police response would look like for a crisis situation at a school.
