OPP at Goderich high school for training exercise

Goderich residents shouldn't be concerned if they see an increased police presence at Goderich District Collegiate Institute.

Officers with the Huron OPP, West Region OPP tactics and rescue unit, and West Region OPP emergency response team are conducting emergency response training exercises on the high school grounds on Friday.

The exercises will include several high risk scenarios including active attackers.

"Integrated response training is vital to public and officer safety. By leveraging collaborative police-school partnerships, community safety and well-being is promoted through emergency preparedness," said Huron OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Jason Younan.

Friday's training is being done in partnership with the Avon Maitland District School Board and will run from 9 a.m. until approximately 1 p.m.

The public may notice several emergency response vehicles and personnel in and around the school property and need not be alarmed, police said.

Students will not be at school at 260 South Street during the exercises as it is a P.A. Day.
