Campus safety exercise held at Yuba College

Published: 11 December 2024
MARYSVILLE, Calif. — Yuba College held a table-top exercise on Dec. 9 to rehearse management of an active assailant in the area or on campus with college administrators.

The drill was brought to the college by the Yuba College Safety Committee and was conducted by the Tactical Training Academy.

This exercise is part of Yuba College’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its emergency response capabilities and reinforcing communication and training protocols.

The drill complements additional training sessions held year-round, designed to help staff effectively coordinate with external agencies, including first responders and transportation departments.

Because incidents on school campuses can happen unexpectedly, institutions must maintain constant preparedness to keep students, employees and guests safe.

This initiative ensures that students, parents and community members can rest assured knowing that Yuba College is remaining vigilant, said Mark Covington, director of Public Safety at Yuba College.

“These types of events rarely occur, but when they do, we want our leadership to have practical training and exposure on the different responsibilities,” Covington said. “These trainings and exercises make the college and ultimately the community safer when a large-scale event occurs.”

Yuba College President Dr. Tawny Dotson said safety and emergency management are a top priority for the institution.

“The sad reality is that today's school administrators have to pay attention to a continually growing trend in active shooters at schools,” she said. “Our work includes not only preparation for college but also promoting individuals' readiness for potential emergencies.”
