The Farmington Police Department announced that they would coordinate with other local agencies to tour and study the layout of Farmington and Piedra Vista high schools during the holiday break.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it is important for law enforcement personnel to gain a general understanding of the layout of these two high schools in case of a critical incident,\u201d the department said on its Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There will be a large presence of police and other agency vehicles Dec. 26-29, according to Shanice Gonzales, Farmington police spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

She stated in an email that the tours resulted from an initiative by School Resource Officer Tezzarea Fernandez, who recognized that many officers probably did not know Farmington High School\u2019s layout since its renovations.<\/p>\n

With permission from the high schools, the police department invited the San Juan County Sheriff\u2019s Department, New Mexico State Police, and Aztec and Bloomfield police departments to participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have always been maps of the school in our systems and in our officer\u2019s vehicles in case of emergencies,\u201d Gonzales said.<\/p>\n

She said the police department would share map resources with other agencies when asked.<\/p>\n

The tours are being done in one-hour increments all day long with an hour for a lunch break.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the people who came in groups showed up on Monday, \u201d Gonzales emailed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is for our department and other local agencies to gain a general understanding of the layout of these two high schools in case of a critical incident,\u201d Gonzales said. \u201cOur officers carry and have access to the maps of these schools, but we find it valuable to allow them to walk the schools for firsthand knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
