CCSO to conduct active shooter training in Leavenworth

LEAVENWORTH  — Chelan County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) will be conducting active shooter training exercises in the Leavenworth area throughout the month of January.

CCSO said the training is a critical aspect of ensuring community safety, allowing deputies and partner agencies to practice coordinated responses, improve communication, and strengthen the skills needed to protect the public during high‑risk incidents.

“Realistic training ensures that if a crisis ever occurs, our teams are prepared to act quickly, decisively, and effectively,” wrote CCSO in a Jan. 8 press release.

Residents and visitors may notice a large law enforcement presence, including marked and unmarked vehicles, training equipment and personnel. 

“Please be assured that this activity is planned training only. There is no cause for alarm,” wrote CCSO.
