The training will run from approximately 10am to 2pm and is closed to the public and media.
Members of the public in the general vicinity may hear occasional yelling, raised voices, loud noises, sirens or bangs.
Police participating in the exercise will be carrying training weapons which contain simunition rounds (similar to paint rounds) – these are incapable of firing real ammunition.
No officers participating in the exercise will be using real firearms or ammunition.
Members of the public will also notice a large number of police officers and vehicles travelling to Suncorp Stadium, as well as other emergency services.
There are no road closures associated with the exercise and signage will be in place advising that a training exercise is underway.
The Queensland Police Service regularly conducts exercises to give officers realistic scenario based training and development, to continually improve how police respond to high risk scenarios and to ensure that all officers are well equipped to deal with serious and major incidents.
