Oklahoma City, OK – Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers teamed up with Louisiana State University instructors this week to lead a Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response (LASER) “Train the Trainer” course.
According to OHP, the specialized program certifies participants to teach the LASER course to other law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel statewide. The goal is to strengthen coordinated responses to active shooter incidents through classroom instruction, hands-on training, and practical exercises.
Instructors presented realistic, scenario-based training sessions designed to prepare responders for high-stress, active threat environments. Participants practiced tactical movement, communication strategies, and immediate action protocols to enhance safety and efficiency during real-world incidents.
“This course ensures that all Oklahoma first responders are on the same page when responding to active shooter calls,” OHP officials stated in the release. “It’s another step toward unified, life-saving coordination across agencies.”
The training reflects ongoing statewide efforts to improve readiness for critical incidents, giving law enforcement and emergency services the tools and shared procedures needed to respond swiftly and effectively.
