Active shooter exercise to close Dodge County buildings Dec. 16

The Dodge County courthouse and Government Services buildings in Mantorville will be closed to the public, Dec. 16, from 2:30 – 7 p.m. for an active shooter training exercise.

The purpose behind the exercise is to provide training to Dodge County public safety responders, as well as county office employees in general, in the event of an active shooter emergency. 

According to Dodge County Emergency Management Director, Matt Maas, area residents should expect to see a large number of emergency vehicles supporting law enforcement personnel, EMS and fire rescue workers during this important training exercise. 

While the courthouse and government services buildings will be closed, the exercise won’t affect any other county facilities, which will continue normal operations. Regular public safety response services will not be impacted during this time. 

If you have questions, contact Matt Maas at (507) 635-6132 (office) or (507) 319-2322 (cell).
