Manchester Active Threat Full-Scale Exercise - Volunteers

Thank you for volunteering as a role player in the November 28 Manchester Active Threat Full-Scale Exercise. This exercise will provide an opportunity for Manchester's first responders to practice a response to an active shooter event at the SNHU Arena. As a volunteer, you will play a critical role in the realism of the exercise. You may serve the role of an evacuating patron, hysterical witness or gunshot victim - all of which will challenge Manchester's first responders and test their capabilities.

This exercise will involve a realistic high stress environment with loud noises, simulated gunfire, law enforcement activity and emergency medical services.
