Thank you to the Copperas Cove Fire & Police Departments for their help in providing critical training to CCISD's School Marshals. As part of H.B. 33 in last year's legislative session, each campus is now required to be equipped with shields and breaching tools. CCFD Firefighters Cole Ingram and Roel Requena provided hands-on training for the breaching tools, while CCPD Lt. Cyle Brewer and Sgt. Vincenzo Militello delivered training on the proper use of ballistic shields.

This training enhances the ability of School Marshals to respond effectively and helps ensure the safety and security of all students, staff, and visitors across our campuses.
