Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The Floyd County Sheriff's Department is now conducting their annual indoor simulation training for local churches and businesses. The simulation will teach security team members how to respond to active shooters and deescalate dangerous situations. This is the Milo. We've had it last year. I think we've had it a couple of years now. It's an interactive Milo device, an electronic device that doesn't use live ammunition and actually uses laser beams and such that people can actually get there and we teach them how to safely operate or handle a weapon. Teach them how to safely bring a situation, deescalate a situation, bring it under control in such a way that maybe lethal force cannot be used or shouldn't be used. That's our job is to try to teach you when and when not. Maybe teach you in a way that some things are out of your control and you just have to know when to call the police. By us doing it with church members, church security teams, security teams for schools, it gives them an understanding of maybe some things they may face. The simulation has various scenarios and gives local churches and businesses a chance to train for an active threat. Last year, Deputy Peter and I were the instructors of this class and it's very hard to kind of go through. Without him this year, I'm missing very badly. But one of the last classes we taught, he always said, never think it cannot happen around here. It was one of the last classes that we did teach together. And he said, don't ever think it couldn't happen, but we just want you to be better prepared in case something does happen. So we get complacent a lot of times. We start thinking that our life is just perfect and things are not going to happen. That's what we want everybody to think that when you think that things won't happen, believe me it can. And we want you to be more prepared. We want you to be able to face the situation safely if at all possible.
