Counter terrorism exercise Operation Hotel Taunt
A joint operation aimed at testing a coordinated response to an emergency situation was held today at the Port of Brisbane.
The counter terrorism exercise involved several government and private authorities working together to resolve a potentially dangerous situation.
The exercise involved a suspicious package being located on a wharf at the Port of Brisbane.
Authorities then went about planning and participating in every aspect that would be necessary if this was a real situation.
Wynnum District Superintendent Tony Rand was happy with the exercise and the way the situation was successfully handled.
“This type of exercise is extremely important for everyone involved to hone their skills and learn best practice methods.
“We will assess the exercise and educate ourselves on any areas that may need improvement. Everything done here today can be taken away and used in a real life situation,” Superintendent Rand said.
