Officers have been preparing for an event “we hope we never have to face,” Fairfield Police Chief Walt Tibbet says.

The Police Department, working with the Fairfield-Suisun School District, updated its program to address an active threat at a school site. The plan will be formally introduced at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year through community meetings.

Tibbet and Kris Corey, superintendent of the Fairfield-Suisun School District, discuss in a video posted Thursday the role parents can play during such a crisis.
