With schools closed for Veterans Day, the Haverstraw Police Department conducted an active shooter training exercise at a local school within the North Rockland Central School District.
The training brought together law enforcement personnel from the Haverstraw Police Department, Stony Point Police Department, Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, and New York State Police.
According to the Haverstraw Police Department, the exercise focused on strengthening interagency response, communication, and coordination during critical incidents. The training provided officers from multiple agencies an opportunity to work together and reinforce procedures for responding to emergency situations.
Police officials emphasized the importance of ongoing training and collaboration among local, county, and state law enforcement agencies to help ensure an effective response when emergencies arise.
The department also expressed its appreciation to Supervisor Howard Phillips, the Haverstraw Town Board, Superintendent Kris Felicello, and the North Rockland Central School District Board of Education for their cooperation and support in making the school building available for the exercise.
The training was conducted while students and staff were off for the Veterans Day holiday
