Greer Police is proactive visiting schools, churches
JAN 21, 2013
Greer Police Chief Dan Reynolds was on vacation Nov. 14 last year when a lone gunman massacred 20 children and 6 adult staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
By the following Monday morning Reynolds assembled his staff to assess the Greer Police Department’s plan to react to any incident that would threaten the safety of children and teachers.
This week will begins a continuing education program with all schools and churches.
“Every incident is 911 all over again. Every act like this is domestic terrorism,” Reynolds said as his voice got more commanding as he sat up straight behind his desk. “We hear Newtown every day and every hour. Now we’re dealing with people’s perception and responding to feeling and fear.”
Reynolds pointed to the recent incidents in the upstate last week:
• A 17-year-old male student at Byrnes High School, last Monday, was reportedly overheard saying he would kill his ex-girlfriend, students and faculty at Byrnes Freshman Academy. The student’s threat detailed his plan to kill students with a .38-caliber handgun and two shotguns.
• On Tuesday, a 14-year-old D.R. Hill Middle school student stood up in class and said if he had a gun, he would kill everyone.
• Two students at Wade Hampton High School were arrested last Tuesday and charged with carrying a weapon on school property. A black airsoft pistol was found in a student’s book bag in the gym locker room, and a pocketknife in the possession of another student.
• A second student had a pistol and pocketknife concealed on his person.
