National news has recently been filled with incidents of active shooters or mass shootings. While no such incident has occurred in McPherson, recent events in other parts of the country have led the McPherson Police Department to remind community members they offer facility walkthroughs and active shooter training for local businesses, schools, and organizations. Mark Brinck, administrative captain for the McPherson Police Department, says that in 2019 the department received over 30 requests for facility walk-throughs or active shooter training. “From 2020 to present, we have received one similar request,” Brinck said. The department offers Run, Hide, Five Active Shooter Training to local businesses, schools and organizations. Brinck says the training teaches options for responding to an active shooter event. They also offer facility walk-through to the same groups.
