Boulder police to hold monthly SWAT exercise this week

 The Boulder Police Department Swat Team will be conducting a multi-location training exercise on Thursday, April 19.  The exercise is part of the department’s annual training program and will occur in several locations in and around Boulder.

Approximately 25 officers will take part in the training. Residents will see police activity in the southeast and east/central areas of town. SWAT Team members will be carrying unloaded weapons and may deploy visible smoke bombs as part of the exercise.

One of the goals of this particular training is to evaluate officers’ preparedness for emergencies at unknown locations. Because of this, the department is not releasing the specific locations of the exercises.
