(U.S. NAVY\/LEAH ECLAVEA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The event was the command and GPD\u2019s first joint training, and was held to educate JRM sailors and civilian employees about how to respond during an active shooter situation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have a responsibility to the public, whether it\u2019s military law enforcement, local law enforcement, or federal law enforcement,\u201d said JRM security officer Gregory Jacobs. \u201cWe are here to protect the public and to ensure that everybody is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two-part training included an informative brief and analysis of active shooter scenarios, and a simulation to test employees\u2019 knowledge and response during an actual event.  <\/p>\n<p>GPD Sgt. John Aguon, training facilitator, stressed the importance of individuals to run, hide, or fight as first responders make their way to the scene within the 10-minute window from when the first shot is fired.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the people in this office do, in this building, within zero to 10 minutes will dictate and save the majority of lives,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is the reason and importance of the awareness training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JRM Force Chaplain Capt. Melvin Underwood said participating in the event was a great show of partnership between local and federal agencies. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a fantastic police force and security force both on and off base,\u201d he said. \u201cRecognizing that we\u2019re building regional partnerships and we\u2019re building across fence lines to protect everybody reinforces the idea that we are one team and one fight.\u201d (By LEAH ECLAVEA, Joint Region Marianas Public Affairs)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASAN, Guam\u2014Joint Region Marianas and the Guam Police Department partnered to conduct an Active Shooter&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":39161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[200,67,133,492],"class_list":["post-39157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-military","tag-people","tag-run","tag-test"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
