Joint exercise enables emergency squads to hone skills, cooperation

A live training event involving a mock prison disturbance has tested the emergency response skills of personnel from the Department of Justice and Western Australian Police Force. Officers from the Department’s Special Operations Group (SOG) and WA Police’s Regional Operations Group (ROG) joined forces in the operation at Casuarina Prison. The exercise was staged to evaluate the effectiveness of the SOG and ROG operating together during an emergency at a custodial facility requiring Police involvement.
