GENEVA, IL — Illinois State Police and other local police departments will take over a home in the 100 block of South River Lane Friday morning to conduct training exercises, officials said.
Officers will train for potential responses to an emergency situation, according to a news release from the Geneva Police Department.
The training, lasting from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, is not expected to disrupt the neighborhood. No sirens will be activated, and live weapons won't be fired. Instead, police will use Simunition weapons, similar to paint guns, throughout the day, officials said.
Signs will be posted in the driveway of the house to alert passersby of the police training. Safety officers will also be on-site for the day.
