NSA Monterey Police Hone Response Skills

By MC2 Shawn J. Stewart

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Monterey Police Officers Bill Larken, Lt. William Nugent, Bryan Swanston, and Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Ty Alewine, pictured from front to back, clear a hallway in response to an active shooter drill at NPS' Public Works facility during Exercise Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield 2015 (SC-CS15), Feb 11. SC-CS15 is the Navy's largest annual force protection exercise. It is designed to test the ability of its security force's to respond to unit and installation threats.

"The scenario this year focuses on a disgruntled Public Works employee who first shoots his supervisor and then himself," said NSA Monterey Training Officer Travis Segura.

The team was able to learn and improve on past discrepancies. Segura's guidance was hands-on and gave trainees the opportunity to receive rapid "sensory and conative supervision" as well as live feedback on room clearing, teamwork and general instruction techniques.

"Of course there is always things we can improve on or that we can get better at, but I thought we did really well in respects to last year," said Segura. "Our overall movement was quicker, we had a lot more communication and we cleared [rooms] better than before. That's the number one thing for me."
