Warner Robins, Georgia - The Warner Robins Police and Fire Departments will join other regional first responders for Central Georgia Technical College’s (CGTC) annual multi-agency disaster and mass casualty training event on Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Warner Robins Campus.
Hosted by the CGTC Division of Health Sciences and CGTC Police, this full-scale, joint field training exercise is designed to simulate a real-world active shooter or mass casualty incident. The event emphasizes inter-agency coordination and offers a realistic, high-intensity environment that prepares agencies and healthcare professionals to work together in crisis situations.
Partner agencies include the Perry and Centerville Fire and Police Departments, Houston Healthcare, Houston County Emergency Management, Houston County Fire Department, Houston County Sheriff’s Office, Houston County 911, Region-5 Trauma, Air Evac, and others. Trinity School of Medicine (TSOM) students will also provide simulated medical response.
“The Warner Robins Police Department is proud to participate in this training alongside our local and regional partners,” said Assistant Chief of Police, Todd Edwards. “These drills are essential for ensuring that all agencies can respond quickly, cohesively, and effectively when lives are on the line. In real emergencies, there's no room for confusion—everyone must know their role, trust their team, and act decisively. This exercise helps build that trust and sharpen those skills.”
For the City of Warner Robins, events like this reinforce the importance of preparation, communication, and teamwork across public safety sectors. The Warner Robins Fire Department will also be on-site, using the opportunity to rehearse emergency extraction, triage, and scene control strategies critical to saving lives in mass casualty scenarios.
As a reminder, the event is only a drill. The “injured” individuals and simulated damage are staged to reflect the impact of a real incident, offering first responders a valuable chance to train in as close to real conditions as possible.
The City of Warner Robins extends its appreciation to CGTC and all participating agencies and volunteers for their commitment to safety, training, and community service.
