Active shooter drill set for Aug. 4 at McGaugh Elementary School

CITY OF SEAL BEACH

The Seal Beach Police Department will conduct an active shooter response training exercise at the McGaugh Elementary School campus on Thursday, Aug. 4, from about 6 a.m.-6 p.m.

The goal of this training is to help prepare police officers in the event of a critical event on the campus.

During this training exercise, the community may hear screaming or yelling, simulated gun fire sounds, exercise alerts over the amplified voice system and sirens around McGaugh Elementary School.

Emergency response vehicles and first responders will respond accordingly for this exercise.

The McGaugh Elementary School campus will be closed during the drill. Because it is summer break, no students will be on campus that day.

Signage will be posted notifying the public of the training exercise. For additional information, visit the Seal Beach Police Department on social media @sealbeachpolice.
