City Of North Port issued the following announcement on Feb 15.
When tension and danger is at an all time high, it's important for our first responders to be prepared. North Port Police Department and Sarasota Police Department personnel from the Explosive Material Unit (EMU) conducted training with North Port Fire Rescue recently.
This was an opportunity for agencies to familiarize with each other’s policies and procedures in the event that a suspicious package is found. NPFR observed the EMU simulate a suspicious device identification and the proper disposal.
The hope is that we will not have to deal with this sort of instance, but it's important to remain prepared for anything that may come our way. Thank you to Sarasota Police Department and North Port Police Department for teaching and demonstrating.
