DAYTON, Ohio — If you see more emergency vehicles or sounds coming from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, it’s all for a training being conducted throughout the day Wednesday.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base warned the public it’s conducting an active-shooter exercise to test and evaluate response procedures, as well as assess base safety.
There will be a few temporary changes and impacts as the training goes on:
- Heavier traffic at gates because of possible closures and screenings
- Temporary road closures around the base
- Simulated gunfire and increased presence of armed Airmen
- Enhanced security measures
- Activation of the “Giant Voice” system and alert sirens
- Electronic notifications related to the exercise
Wright-Patterson said there’s no need to call 911 as the training is a scheduled event, and local emergency agencies have been notified.
