The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office, Delta Township Fire Department and the General Motors assembly plant in Delta Township have been working together on active violence training and will conduct a full-scale training exercise at the assembly plant Wednesday, May 31. The training is part of the continued effort to prepare and train for an effective multi-agency response to an active violence incident in the tri-county area, according to the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office.

Several local first responders will be participating, including the Eaton and Ingham county sheriff’s offices; Delta, Lansing, Meridian and Delhi township fire departments;  the Lansing Fire Department; Charlotte, Potterville and East Lansing police departments; the Michigan State Police and Eaton County Central Dispatch.

“General Motors and first responders are training to promote public safety and to save as many lives as possible in the event something like this ever happens in the tri-county area,” the news release said.

The exercise is closed to the public and some roads near the plant may have partial or full closures for parts of the morning and early afternoon.  Some areas around the plant also will be closed except for those actively participating in the exercise.
