ORLANDO, Fla. — If you live or work near Downtown Orlando, you may hear loud noises and spot several police officers on Friday.
But the Orlando Police Department said you likely needn’t worry.
That’s because OPD will be conducting a training exercise at the Cherokee School on South Eola Drive.
The drills are scheduled to start at 8 a.m. and expected to run through 5 p.m.
The department said it’s part of an ongoing effort to ensure officer preparedness and public safety.
The Orlando Police Department's Training Unit will be conducting a training exercise at the 500 block of South Eola Drive (The Cherokee School) from 8am to 5pm tomorrow, August 1.
