them on this exercise to improve response coordination in case of an active threat.” During the training exercise, the public may see an increased uniformed law enforcement and emergency
response presence at the clinic. This presence is part of the planned training exercise. ### Note: Due to the nature of the training, the exercise will not be open to the public and media.
