The Waushara County Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with other County agencies, local Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and the School District of Wild Rose, are conducting an Intruder/Evacuation/Reunification Drill at the Wild Rose Middle/High School on August 26th, 2025, from 8 AM to 12 PM.
On this date, we will be conducting active threat training that will have role players. You may see ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and other first responder vehicles. You may hear the fire alarm, simulated firearm sound,s and people calling for help/yelling. Please know that these are part of the drill/exercise/training and that there is no risk to the public.
Local first responder organizations have been working with a county-wide school safety team designed to create a unified response to critical incidents. All agencies in our County have been part of the development and planning alongside all school districts in the County. We believe that a unified plan for all parties in our County will provide a better response.
We will be setting up a perimeter around the school using barricades and other first responder vehicles. Please do not move the barricades.
We hope that a situation like this never occurs in our area, trainings like this one allow us to have a better understanding and preparedness should something happen.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the Waushara County Sheriff’s Office at 920-787-3321
