The Haverstraw Police Department recently conducted active shooter response training focused on its School Resource Officers (SROs) and Youth Bureau, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure preparedness for school-based emergencies.

The training included the department’s Drone Unit and K9 Unit, along with members of the Stony Point Police Department. Officials said training alongside neighboring agencies helps strengthen coordination and improves response readiness.

Police noted that SROs train regularly to stay prepared to respond quickly and effectively if ever needed, and emphasized a continued commitment to improving tactics and partnerships to help keep local schools and the community safe.

The department thanked the North Rockland Central School District for allowing the training to take place at Fieldstone Middle School. Members of the district’s administration were present and participated in the exercise, police said.

Officials also stressed that no students or school faculty were present during the training.
