The training exercise will demonstrate how each agency works collaboratively during large scale incidents.
Officials are looking for 10-12 volunteers to take part. They will be placed inside the school and will likely act as 'victims'. Police said it's a good opportunity to help assist officers as they work to be prepared for all types of situations and to keep the community safe.
The training exercise is taking place from 8 a.m. until about noon. Anybody interested in role-playing must RSVP to Jessica Stead at jessica.stead@cityoforlando.net.
You will need to arrive at Edgewater High School by 7:45 a.m. with a photo ID. No weapons of any kind will be allowed.
