Response Options Teaches RAIDER Active Shooter Training at the University of Toledo
This week, the University of Toledo is hosting active shooter training, so police departments all over the region can prepare for the possibility of terror in the classrooms.
UT Police Chief Jeff Newton says this marks a change in active shooter response policy for his department of 37 sworn officers.
Instead of waiting for back-up, an officer will enter a dangerous building all alone.
"I'm going to kill you! You're going to pay for this!"
The staged emergency scenario is intense.
"Sheriff's office, coming in!"
A lone officer followed by an instructor navigates chaos in the hallways.
"Where at? Which way did he go?"
"I don't know he's just down there, man."
He tries to get to the classroom to shoot the person who is attacking terrified students.

Chief Newton says this week instructors from two dozen police departments all across Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan are in town undergoing what's called RAIDER training.

It ended with a tribute to victims of the December massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, an event that spurred a surge in interest in the state’s training.
