If you’re driving through Kennett Township today and see emergency response vehicles and police in tactical gear, don’t panic.
And if you hear what sounds like shooting, don’t panic.
It’s a training exercise, according to Kennett Township Police. That’s the message from the police department, which sent out an email to residents advising them of a live training scenario at Spar Hill Farm, on Burnt Mill Road, on Tuesday.
“This is a scenario training event so our team will be prepared in the event of an actual emergency in the future,” township Police Chief Matthew Gordon wrote.
The township police are working with the Chester County Regional Emergency Response Team from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 15.
“During the scenario, there will be multiple emergency response specialized vehicles and team members dressed in full tactical gear,” according to Gordon. “There will be simulation shooting (blank rounds) and explosives assisted by helicopters.
“If you hear or see the emergency response team in the area, please do not be alarmed.”
