Wilson County's Government Center on Miller Road and Agricultural Center on Goldsboro Street participated in Active Shooter Drills Wednesday, August 9. The drills were coordinated by the Wilson County Sheriff’s Department working with Human Resources Director Tim Bilderback.
“Today’s Active Shooter Drills at two of our county government sites provides a valuable training experience for our staff and it is a harsh reminder that we must be vigilant each day,” said Ron Hunt, assistant county manager. “The Sheriff’s Department and our Human Resources Director Tim Bilderback have worked hard over the past few months to begin training county government staff on awareness, preparedness and response.”
“Staff safety and citizen safety are extremely important to us throughout our work day in county government,” said Denise Stinagle, county manager. “Today’s drills are a reminder of the risks we face and the importance of having a plan and remaining aware at all times. We appreciate our Sheriff’s Department’s coordination and our staff for wanting to learn our vulnerabilities and improve.”
Thank you to the Wilson County Sheriff's Department for their coordination and leadership and our awesome professional staff for today's learning experience.
