Ann Arbor, MI – A large-scale emergency response training exercise is underway today at Ann Arbor Pioneer High School, prompting road closures and restricted public access in the surrounding area.
According to the City of Ann Arbor Police Department, the drill runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and involves coordination between Ann Arbor Public Schools, first responders, and local hospitals. The scenario simulates an active assailant situation and includes treatment and transport of mock victims to test interagency communication and rapid response protocols.
Officials have closed the Pioneer High School campus to the public for the duration of the exercise and are advising residents to avoid the area. Increased emergency vehicle traffic is expected, and alternate routes are recommended for drivers.
“This emergency responder-only drill is critical for improving our threat response capabilities and maintaining public safety,” the department stated in a public notice.
