Personnel from the Tipas Police Sub-station 5 held the exercise at Napindan Integrated School in Barangay Napindan, Taguig, to assess and improve the response capabilities of students, teachers, school personnel, barangay officials, and police responders during high-risk situations.
The Taguig police’s simulation exercise covered emergency reporting, lockdown procedures, evacuation protocols, rescue operations, area security, and coordinated response among stakeholders.
They highlighted the use of the Department of the Interior and Local Government's 911 Emergency Hotline System as the primary channel for reporting emergencies.
According to the police, the exercise showed how a timely and accurate call to 911 can immediately trigger police response, facilitate real-time coordination among responding units, and significantly reduce response time during critical incidents.
"Preparedness is our strongest defense against any threat. By educating our communities, strengthening coordination, and maximizing the use of the 911 Emergency Hotline, we can ensure a faster response and a safer environment for our students, teachers, and the entire community," Taguig police chief Col. Julius Añonuevo said.
According to a booklet by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, "An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims."
On June 11, three students were killed, and others were wounded in a mass shooting at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City.
