Twenty-five years after a shooting claimed 13 lives at Columbine High School, safety specialists continue to learn from that tragedy in order to better train law enforcement.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. —

Training has also improved thanks to technological advancements. Located in a former elementary school in Wheat Ridge, the Jeffco DeAngelis Foundation uses real-life simulations to train school staff and law enforcement. The foundation offers training for various scenarios. Each session is led by law enforcement experts and held in a realistic school environment.

“It's a good place to make mistakes because we have the subject matter experts who will teach them so that they avoid those mistakes when they're in their real-life crisis event,” said Fritzler.
