So many people attended the church security and safety training presentation last Thursday that an additional training session has been scheduled for this evening at 6:30 p.m at the Bradley County Judicial Complex.
The overwhelming response to last week’s training session, in which some had to be turned away at the door because the North Training Room’s capacity had already been exceeded, led to the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office scheduling the second session.
District Attorney General Steve Crump and various officers with the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office are scheduled to attend this evening’s training.
Representatives from civic organizations are also invited to attend the training. If similar to last Thursday’s meeting, the presentation should last until around 8 p.m.

Chattanooga firefighters dispatched to a semi fire early Monday morning on Interstate 24 near mile marker 171 eastbound, were surprised to see several elephants standing outside the trailer.
Three African elephants greeted the firefighters when they responded to the fire, which was actually just across the TN/GA state line about 2:00am Monday.
CFD Chief Morgan said the tractor was on fire, but the trailer was not. The owners got the elephants safely out of the trailer and gave them some hay to munch on while firefighters put the fire out.
Morgan said the elephants were “huge,” but well behaved. None of the animals were injured. No human injuries were reported either.
Once the fire was extinguished, the owners made some calls to get another tractor to continue their trip to Sarasota, Florida.

House staffers in the new Tennessee legislative office building are being required to take a class on how to survive an active shooter incident.
Media report that the mandatory course follows a decision by the speakers of the House and Senate to allow people with state-issued handgun carry permits to be armed within the Cordell Hull building.
House Speaker Beth Harwell’s office says the course isn’t in response to that policy change, but rather to an offer from the Tennessee Highway Patrol to hold what it calls a “sudden violence class.”
A Senate spokesman says the upper chamber has no plans to follow suit.
Nearly 600,000 Tennesseans had state-issued handgun carry permits as of Nov. 1. The state in 2016 suspended or revoked 2,400 permits.
