Several central Illinois entities will be participating in a multi-agency reunification drill on Wednesday in Piatt County.

It's part of an effort led by Bement Schools and on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Monticello Police Chief Rob Bross told Regional Radio this isn't necessarily geared toward responses to school violence, it could be any type of emergency that requires organized reunification of students and families.

According to the Chief, over the past year this process took many meetings and getting all the parties at a table to hash things out. Now it is time to practice the plans they have come up with.

Chief Bross indicates if you are in the Monticello area on Wednesday, you'll likely notice a few street closures and a few extra first responder vehicles. He notes this will be a part of this drill they are conducting, in hopes of having it wrapped up by late morning.

Chief Bross anticipates finding things as they go that will need improvement or more clarification but believes they have a good plan in place and looks forward to doing a practice execution of it on Wednesday.
