We are relieved that this was a false-alarm, and while we hope that these kind of events never occur in our community, we train for the possibility that they may.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve received questions from the community regarding how prepared our city is to respond to an incident of this nature. The situation this past week was a good demonstration of Incident Command, allocation of resources and SWAT teams who quickly responded to the scene. The West Jordan Police Department has a strong partnership with the Jordan School District, who allow us to post highly-trained school resource officers in&nbsp;<em>your<\/em>&nbsp;children\u2019s schools that work every day to keep kids and staff safe, even at the costs of their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are glad that the situation at the elementary school ended the way it did and that everyone involved acted out of an abundance of caution &#8211; this will better prepare us and our neighboring police departments to keep our communities safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that you can sign up for emergency text alerts from the City of West Jordan?
