Fake blood, an explosion and simulated gunfire were the highlights of Operation Gallant Eagle, a full-scale exercise by the UC Davis Police and Fire departments on Sept. 16. The goal—to test the response of these units to a major violent incident on campus. Officer Joe Wagstaff, center, and others respond to two ‘active shooters’ in the Food Science and Technology Building. Up to 200 volunteers and staff took part in the various training exercises that lasted throughout the day. To watch media coverage of this drill, visit http://www.kcra.com/video/20945336.
