It’s not a matter of if, but when, terrorists will once again strike the United States, according to a retired lieutenant of the Oklahoma City Police Department who now leads awareness sessions on terrorism and response plans.
The fast-paced information presented Wednesday by John Clark, employed as an adjunct professor with the New Mexico Tech’s Institute of Mining and Technology, and Don Renner, also an adjunct professor and an explosive ordinance technician with 21 years of military service, was sobering for the 117 attending.
Clark, who developed the emergency response team for Oklahoma City police and responded to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in 1995, told participants his intent was not to make them paranoid but prepared.
“What’s happening with our military on foreign countries will happen here. It’s coming like a freight train. … And one of the things they want is your children,” he said.
If you are a school administrator or law enforcement officer, learn what steps you can take.
