As reported in the Tribune’s April 25 issue, a training exercise was conducted by the Livingston Police Department’s Emergency Services Unit (ESU) along with officers from other municipalities on Friday, April 19.
The ESU training exercise was conducted by the Essex County Police Academy and included basic SWAT and advanced room clearing. The exercise was conducted on or near the DuBrow’s property between West Northfield Road and the Community Center property on Hillside Avenue. Upon witnessing the drill, an alarmed citizen in the area reported what appeared to be suspicious activity to the Police Department.
