Special Operations Response Team Exercises Held at UMD
The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) provided the Special Operation Response Team from the Minnesota Department of Corrections facility at Moose Lake-Willow River the opportunity to conduct hostage rescue training exercises in Stadium Apartments on the UMD campus on August 20, 2013. Stadium Apartments are due to be torn down within the next few months.
The exercises offered response team members the opportunity to further enhance their response skills. These exercises were provided free of charge and are economically beneficial to UMD, the region, and the people of Duluth. Successful response to emergencies save lives and property.
