CCNO AND NORTHWEST STATE COORDINATE ON SECURITY

The Spe­cial Response Team at the Cor­rec­tions Cen­ter of North­west Ohio in Stryker recently did a tac­ti­cal assess­ment of the cam­pus at North­west State Com­mu­nity Col­lege in Arch­bold.

The jail’s tac­ti­cal unit, which is more like a SWAT team, spe­cial­izes in crowd con­trol, hostage nego­ti­a­tions and use of force.

CCNO guards are not cer­ti­fied peace offi­cers, though. The Bryan Times reports that, since the school’s cam­pus is located in Henry County, the Sher­iff got around that issue by swear­ing in the jail staff as Henry County Deputies, giv­ing them the author­ity to respond to emer­gen­cies at the col­lege along with any other local law enfor­c­ment officers.
