12:20pm | If you work or live downtown and are concerned that Long Beach is being invaded, fear not. The Long Beach Police Department and several other law enforcement agencies are conducting a Port Protector Exercise today that tests response to an attack.
Police helicopters are abuzz and authorities are simulating terrorist attacks, an active shooter situation, hazmat contamination/decontamination tests and much more. We will have photos and more information coming shortly.
The exercise is being conducted throughout the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and includes participation from the fire and police departments of both Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard, FBI and many more.
