Gunshot Drills in Public Schools

(Chilpancingo, AN 2 November) With the consent of parents and school administrators, Guerrero’s Secretary of Public Safety will provide 15 to 20 gunshot drills (like fire drills) each month to schools that have requested this service from the state Secretary of Education. The idea is to train school children how to react if an incident of violence were to occur in a school. Several of the schools to receive this training are secondary schools in the Acapulco area. The drills and training begin this month. Other public safety programs will continue as usual, like conferences with students on issues of drug addiction, domestic violence and similar public safety topics.
