About this Article

Gurnee police are offering a glimpse of a safety training video featuring local officers, students and teachers reacting to a lockdown at the village’s Woodland Middle School. Police and Woodland Elementary District 50 collaborated in the production at the school two weeks ago. It’s geared for school employees who didn’t receive formal training about lockdown procedures because they were hired in the middle of an academic year.
