Monarch High School {Aiden Palmer}
Residents may notice a significant law enforcement and emergency response presence near Monarch High School in Coconut Creek on Thursday, June 18, as local agencies conduct a large-scale Critical Incident and Response Training exercise.
Scheduled to begin at 7 a.m., the training involves numerous police officers, emergency vehicles, fire rescue units, and a Broward Sheriff’s Office helicopter operating in the area.
According to Scotty Leamon, Public Safety Information Officer, residents, particularly those who live or work near the school, are advised not to be alarmed by the activity, emphasizing that it is part of a planned training exercise designed to prepare first responders for critical incidents.
Given the school’s proximity to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Leamon said that notifying the public in advance is especially important to prevent unnecessary concern.
The exercise is expected to provide realistic emergency response scenarios and will be highly visible throughout the morning.
