The UK campus community can expect to see an increased law enforcement presence in the area during business hours July 17

If you notice a larger police presence on the University of Kentucky campus today/Thursday, the UKPD is hosting a law enforcement training exercise as part of a regularly scheduled federal training program.

Officials say the event is an opportunity for the participating agency to practice and enhance its operational readiness to respond to incidents that would require a tactical response in Lexington.

The training will take place on South Broadway, and organizers assure that the exercises will pose no risk to the public.

UK Police routinely work with law enforcement partners to host trainings that strengthen collaborative response efforts.
