Aiken Public Safety conducts large scale drill on Du Pont Drive
Public safety crews tested readiness in a two hour drill that involved a simulated barricaded elderly man in a mock apartment. An unscheduled call to North Augusta required rapid redeployment by tracking teams and SWAT negotiators to maintain operations in both locations. Negotiators kept telephone contact until the man surrendered and officials identified communication improvements for future drills.
