Police conduct safety drills at Plainfield high schools Student, staff, parents will practice response to threat during arrival The Plainfield Police Department will conduct early morning lock-down drills over the next several weeks at Plainfield high schools, according to a District 202 news release. Officers will hold drills at Plainfield Central, North and East high schools to practice student, staff and parental response to a threat while students are arriving to school. The exercises are part of the district’s and police department’s continual efforts to ensure student and staff safety. All three schools fall under Plainfield’s jurisdiction. The Joliet Police Department conducted similar drills at Plainfield South High School earlier this winter. The first drill will be held at Plainfield North High School at 6:45 a.m. April 7. The drill will affect student drop-off, buses, student driving and parking on campus and entry into the school. Plainfield High School – Central Campus will hold a similar drill at 6:50 a.m. April 12, and Plainfield East will hold its drill at 6:55 a.m. on April 19. “District 202 has taken great steps in securing our buildings through school
