The Summit County Sheriff's Office has announced it will be conducting an explosives training session, and it's a heads-up to the community — especially for those residing near the Sheriff's Office Training Center on Greensburg Road. According to a social media post, the exercises are set for Monday, November 10, between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
While community members may be familiar with their peacekeepers' routine trainings, this particular session may be a bit more noticeable. "Anyone near the Sheriff’s Office Training Center on Greensburg Road may hear some booms during that time", the notice from the Sheriff's office alerts. The earnest tone of the message carried a hint of dry humor, affirming "And no, we do not need help." So, rest assured, those rumbles are part of a controlled scenario meant to prepare the bomb squad for real-world challenges, not a cause for alarm or for superhero aspirations.
For those near the Training Center, consider this the official heads-up to perhaps schedule outdoor activities for another time, or to brief any pets or small children who might not appreciate the sudden, albeit scheduled, cacophony. The Sheriff's Office is clearly proactive in communicating with the community to circumvent undue concern. Remember, "Anyone near the Sheriff’s Office Training Center on Greensburg Road may hear some booms during that time", the social media post details. Although the notice did not specify, local law enforcement will likely have additional personnel on hand to address any inadvertent concerns or queries from the public.
