Officer training to take place on Flagstaff Mountain
Jun 28th
A scenario-based training course for new police officers will take place at Artist’s Point on Flagstaff Mountain on Wednesday, June 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
This is an annual training exercise for all new officers. Various scenarios will be presented for practice purposes, and the public is free to observe. Participants will be in uniform and will use marked vehicles, so passersby may notice what appears to be police activity in the area. None of the exercises will involve live ammunition.
The summit on Flagstaff Mountain will remain open to the public.
Boulder police to conduct bomb training exercise on June 8
Jun 7th
On Wednesday, June 8, Fairview High School will be the site of a bomb training exercise involving the Boulder Police Department, the Boulder Fire Department, Pridemark Paramedic Service, the FBI, Boulder Valley School District officials and administrators from Fairview and Boulder High Schools. Several students are also volunteering.
There are several objectives for the exercise: to provide the Boulder Valley School District with information and recommendations for dealing with a bomb-related incident on school grounds; to coordinate a multi-agency response and to allow the participating agencies an opportunity to fine-tune their tactics and protocols.
The exercise will begin at 12:30 p.m., and will take place mostly inside the school. School is out for the summer, and there should be no impact on traffic or roads in the area.
Members of the media are invited to attend between 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. For safety reasons and to insure the integrity of tactics used, reporters are asked not to videotape the drill or to photograph or videotape the students who are participating.
Fairview High School is located at 1515 Greenbriar Blvd.
