In response to concerns about school shooting, Jacksboro Police Department Sgts. Houston Gass and Banning Sweatland realized the need for additional safety and accuracy training for emergency service providers. Host Larry Kortkamp sits down with 2018 Law Enforcement Today Magazine Citizen of the Year Award recipient Sgt. Gass to discuss the Emergency Operations Proving Grounds, or EOPG now used to facilitate that training. Often responders are dispatched from different organizations, so learning how to work together better saves lives and shortens the duration of the crisis.

Classroom and situational training helps responders remain calm even in chaotic scenarios.

“If we’re not the cool kids in the room, everyone else will panic … you must know you’re going to win …” ~ Houston Gass
