The Centerville Police Department’s Special Response team led training for all SROs that are assigned to the Hickman County Schools on July 7th & 8Th. Officers conducted multiple scenarios at each school with every SRO completing a one officer response to an armed intruder at their assigned school. The training consisted of force-on-force training. Role players and SROs used G***k training pistols, SRO ri**es equipped with training bolts, and simunitions am******on to conduct realistic training. These trainings were based on previous incidents and required officers to respond accordingly. SROs also worked in teams and as a whole group during multiple scenarios.

Thank you to Hickman County Emergency Management Agency , Hickman County Sheriff's Office, Hickman-Centerville 911 Dispatch and our local TWRA Lane Coulter

⚠️ Extreme Heat Warning for All of Hickman County ⚠️

The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for all of Hickman County beginning Monday at 11:00 AM and lasting through Thursday at 8:00 PM.

Heat index values could reach 110°, and even at night temperatures will only drop into the mid to upper 70s. That means there won't be much relief after the sun goes down.

Start drinking extra water today so you're hydrated before the hottest temperatures arrive. If you have to be outside, take frequent breaks, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and try to get outdoor work done early in the morning or later in the evening.

Please take a few minutes to check on your family, neighbors, and anyone you know who may be more vulnerable to the heat, especially older adults, those with medical conditions, young children, and anyone without reliable air conditioning. A quick phone call or visit could make a big difference.

And as always, never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle—even for a minute.

Let's all look out for each other and do what we can to stay safe over the next several days.
