The Southwest Texas Junior College (SWTJC) Law Enforcement Academy shared information about the training event on its Facebook page on March 1 and encouraged online registrations.

A pamphlet for the event said it would last from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the training was intended for “Peace Officers, School Resource Officers (SROs) and campus security officers.”

SWTJC Law Enforcement Academy’s March 1 Facebook post has garnered renewed attention following the shooting at Robb Elementary as police have been sharply criticized for their response to the attack in which 19 children and two teachers were killed.
