The SWOSU Collegiate Officer Program (COP) conducted a building clearing training on Monday, March 8, in the Hilltop Theater on the Southwestern Oklahoma State University campus in Weatherford.

The training did not include live firearms and ammunition, but introduced the students into the basics of clearing a building.

In the video, COP Director Tyler Rickey explains what exactly is important about clearing buildings and what the Officer Program is about.
