Boone County First Responders Conduct Active Shooter Incident Management Training

COLUMBIA, Mo. (November 3, 2025) - The Boone County Office of Emergency Management and Boone County Public Safety Advisory Committee are hosting a series of Active Shooter Incident Management (ASIM) Basic Training sessions. These courses, which combine lecture and tabletop exercises, are designed to strengthen coordination among law enforcement, fire, EMS, emergency management, and 911 personnel during complex active threat incidents.

Developed by C3 Pathways, ASIM Basic provides nationally recognized frameworks for managing multi-agency responses to high-stress emergencies. The sessions will be taught by local instructors representing Boone County’s public safety community.

“These trainings continue Boone County’s commitment to seamless coordination across public safety agencies,” said Emergency Management Director Chris Kelley. “By training together, we ensure every responder speaks the same language and can act quickly and decisively when it matters most.”

The last session scheduled for 2025 will be held Tuesday, November 4 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Columbia Police Department Regional Training Center, 5001 E. Meyer Industrial Dr., Columbia, Missouri.

The Boone County Public Safety Advisory Committee brings together public safety, emergency management, and local government partners to strengthen preparedness, response, and recovery across Boone County and the surrounding region.
