Multiple agencies participating resulting in an increased presence at Colonel Gray
The Charlottetown Police Services is advising residents about a multi-agency training exercise that will be conducted today, Monday, June 29, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at Colonel Gray High School (175 Spring Park Road). The exercise will bring a visible and increased presence of officers, civilian staff and partner agencies, along with emergency vehicles, onto school property for the day.
The purpose of the training is to create a real-time incident that activates an integrated emergency response across multiple agencies and various CPS units to help strengthen the coordination, intelligence sharing, real-time decision making and the overall response to high-risk incidents. The exercise will include CPS’ tactical response unit, crisis negotiators, incident commander, and dispatch, along with members from the following partner agencies – Island EMS, Charlottetown Fire Department, Summerside Police Services and UPEI Faculty of Medicine’s Clinical Learning and Simulation Centre.
Please note that access to the school property will be restricted to those participating in the training exercise, which does not pose any threat to the public.
The exercise reinforces CPS’s commitment to strong partnerships and building capacity in critical incident response and crisis de-escalation.
