A heavy police presence shut down City Hall for much of Friday morning, not due to an emergency, but rather a training exercise designed to sharpen response strategies for first responders.
Chicago police and firefighters swarmed the building for several hours Friday during a training that aimed to “enhance preparedness and strengthen capabilities” across city departments “during and following an active threat or terrorism.”
City Hall was closed from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, while the exercise — which DeVries described as likely being the first of its kind held at City Hall — lasted about an hour. LaSalle and Wells streets were also temporarily shut down as part of the drill.
