The Hays Police Department will conduct training from 11 a.m. 12:30 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday at Roosevelt Elementary School, 2000 MacArthur.

Police officers will be training with special tactical equipment. This training is being done with great care and safety, the HPD said in a news release.

The purpose of the event will be to help train the department’s Special Situation Response Team on an active-shooter scenario at the school.

Residents may see law enforcement officers move through their area.

“There is no need to be alarmed,” the HPD reported. “The officers are merely conducting a realistic training exercise and there is no danger to the community.”

Anyone with questions or concerns can contact the on-site supervisor — Team Commander Aaron Larson or Team Leader Clayton Hill — or Chief Don Scheibler at (785) 625-1030.
