Maher: These are things we can't practice
at our home branches.
You can do yourself some good
by mentally walking yourself through the scenario,
but the motor skills and the intensity experience is something you just can't mimic
or recreate without coming to a training environment like this.
We're standing here at an abandoned middle school.
And we conducted an active shooter training and a number of scenarios here.
And when you're in the middle of those scenarios,
there's a very high level of intensity,
the blood is pumping and it does feel like a dangerous scenario
and it does feel like some really bad things could happen
if you don't respond appropriately.
Trainee: Two mags, eight rounds per magazine.
Maher: The adrenaline pump.
When you're done, you're drenched in sweat.
It's very realistic training.
