00:02:32

|
| Our Hutto Police Department, Hutto ISD, Hutto Fire and Rescue, Williamson County have come | |
| together to do a preparedness drill for an event that may or may not happen at our schools. | |
| We're trying to prepare first responders, staff and administrators on what our first steps are given a situation like this. | |
| How did you find out about this drill? | |
| I'm a resident of Hutto and we have a citizen police academy. | |
| So who are you guys? | |
| This is Williamson County EMS, or the tactical medic team. | |
| And by tactical you mean what? | |
| Do you guys go in with the police? | |
| Do you have firearms? | |
| No, we do not have firearms. | |
| We're unarmed. | |
| We have received tactical training, SWAT school and tactical medic school, which has allowed for us to go inside of structures with the SWAT team. | |
| How long have you been working with the tactical team? | |
| Four years. | |
| Four years? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| How many of these drills have you done? | |
| This is the first of its kind in the county. | |
| And you said you've been working about four years. | |
| Why now for this type of drill? | |
| I'm guessing it's just what's been happening a lot lately around the country. | |
| I notice different teams are going in at different times. | |
| Is it the set drill every time or does everything change? | |
| It changes each time. | |
| For those of us that are the actual responders, we don't know what's going to be in the school when we go in. | |
| We've heard that the Department of Homeland Security is doing drills in Central Texas. | |
| Does this have anything to do with that? | |
| This is a local drill that we've put together with just our regional area. | |
| However, I think a representative from Homeland Security came to oversee what we were doing. | |
| Not oversee, they don't have anything to do with it. | |
| Yeah, this came second. | |
| There have been incidents all across the country and one of the things we want to do is prepare | |
| should something like that come to HUD. | |
| Is it true that the Department of Homeland Security was here to observe the event? | |
| No, sir. | |
| That's not true? | |
| No, sir. | |
| Not that I saw. | |
| They were never here. | |
| Is it true that the Department of Homeland Security was here to observe this event this morning? | |
| To my knowledge, no, sir. | |
| It's important to note that while working on this report, we received an email from the representative we spoke to earlier. | |
| She told us that she misunderstood us when we said DHS to the Department of Homeland Security and thought we were speaking about another entity. | |
| To clarify, she is saying that DHS to the Department of Homeland Security was not in attendance. | |
