While students are enjoying a P.A. Day on Friday, OPP will be taking over a school in Clinton for a training exercise.
From 9 a.m. until approximately 3:30 p.m., members of the Huron OPP, West Region OPP tactics and rescue unit, and emergency response team will take part in emergency response training at St. Annes Catholic Secondary School.
The exercise, being done in partnership with the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board, will include scenarios involving high risk situations including active attackers.
"Integrated response training plays a crucial role in public and officer safety," said Huron OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Laura Lee Brown. "Police-school collaboration enhances our emergency preparedness and supports community safety and wellbeing."
While the training is underway there will be several emergency response vehicles and personnel in and around the school properties. The public need not be alarmed, police said.
