Kansas State University Police Department along with Kansas Highway Patrol, Wamego Police Department, Manhattan Fire Department and Riley County EMS will participate in this multi-day training.

The training include scenarios intended to mimic potential real-life situations with sounds of gunfire and realistic looking victims and perpetrators.

On Wednesday, April 5th the Kansas Highway Patrol will conduct tactical training in Edwards Hall, including sounds of gunfire, as well as potentially alarming noises.

Beginning April 3rd the parking lot for Edwards Hall will not be available to the public and will be closed throughout the duration of the training.

Kansas State University posted an announcement of the training for public awareness, so the training scenarios are not interpreted as real events.
