Glen Rock NJ, The New Jersey Transit Police Department’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM), together with additional law enforcement and emergency response partners, conducted a training exercise on Saturday, November 2nd at the Glen Rock [Main Line] Station. The exercise began at 8am and continues until approximately 1pm. During this time, a large presence of law enforcement and other first responders were on site.
The focus of the emergency drill was on active shooter response as well as de-escalation tactics. This exercise is expected to impose minimal impacts to commuters and residents of the surrounding area.
As part of our emergency preparedness efforts, the New Jersey Transit Police Department regularly conducts multiple drills and exercises throughout the state in collaboration with our local partners. These realistic emergency drills serve to increase the safety of our first responders, local communities, and the entire NJ TRANSIT system.
