Coast Guard Sector North Carolina Enforcement Division, Coast Guard Station Hatteras Inlet and North Carolina Department of Transportation Ferry Division personnel conducted maritime active shooter training drills Mar. 3, 2020.
During the training, members of the Coast Guard practiced tactical procedures as well as methods to de-escalate the situation or reduce threats from an active shooter on a ferry.
In order to effectively neutralize an active shooter threat, Coast Guard personnel learned to practice limited movements around the ferry's compact spaces.
Coast Guard personnel familiarized themselves with the close-quarters environment of the ferry in order to improve training movements.
