Police training brings noises of explosions to Regina neighbourhood

Stepping outside in Regina on Thursday afternoon might make might people think they’re in an action movie.

The police explosives disposal unit is running training exercises near the Dieppe neighbourhood.

That’s around the far west end of Dewdney Avenue.

Pardon Our Noise! Training exercise underway today, with RPS Explosives Disposal Unit, near Dieppe neighbourhood. Residents will hear explosions; but no cause for alarm as this is a controlled training exercise, following appropriate safety protocols. Thx for your patience!
