Search of Fort Loramie High School by K-9 Unit

Officers from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department conducted a search of the high school premises with their respective K-9 units on Friday, January 30, 2015. The K-9 units search serves many important purposes for providing a safe academic environment for everyone connected with the educational system. It also serves as an appropriate training exercise for all participants, especially the dogs.

Prior to the officers initiating the search, the faculty, students and staff were informed of the situation via the public address system and the building went into a “soft lockdown.” During this type of lockdown classroom teachers proceed with their normal course instruction so that the learning process is not interrupted. Our students and staff conducted themselves appropriately as directed.
