The Northern Arizona University Police Department and Now Emergency Management,
in collaboration with the Flagstaff Police Department and city emergency management,
will conduct an active shooter preparedness exercise on the Now campus on Friday, August 7.
The scenario will involve a simulated active shooter situation on the now campus and emergency response activities.
The goal of the exercise is to strengthen emergency response capabilities,
improve coordination among responding agencies, and enhance overall regional preparedness for emergencies.
Participating agencies include the Now Police Department, Now Emergency Management,
the Flagstaff Police Department, City Emergency Management, the Coquanino County Sheriff's Office,
the Flagstaff Fire Department, Guardian Medical Transport, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The location of the exercise was determined due to the availability of several vacant buildings
on now's North Campus and the university's summer schedule, which significantly limits campus
use on Friday. Several North Campus roads, parking lots, and sidewalks will be closed or will have
limited access during the exercise, including East Franklin Street, McCreery Drive and the bus transit
route through North Campus on Beaver Street. This is a planned exercise and there is no threat to
the campus or surrounding community. University employees working in the vicinity of Peterson
Hall may observe emergency vehicles, responders in tactical gear, realistic role player in
injuries, and other simulated emergency activities, including the sounds of fake gunfire.
The exercise is expected to run between 8 a.m. and noon on August 7th.
Street, parking lot, and sidewalk closure signs will go up on Thursday August 6th at noon and
will be removed upon completion of the exercise.
This coordinated exercise reflects the continued partnership between now and the City of Flagstaff
to strengthen coordinated emergency response throughout the community and with partner agencies.
