On October 25, 2017, from approximately 9:00pm to 3:00am, the Lake Forest Park Police Department and Northshore Fire Department are conducting a joint training exercise for active shooter responses.

This training will occur in a closed-off area of the mall (Town Center at Lake Forest Park).

For safety reasons, this training is not open to members of the public.

You may hear loud sounds, including yelling, screaming, and simulated gunfire.

These are important tools to assist law enforcement and fire/rescue personnel in working through their training effectively.

You may see police and fire vehicles parked in the lower part of the mall for staging and training purposes.

Echoes bounce around the hills of Lake Forest Park, so the sounds may seem to be very close to you.
