Local law enforcement and emergency response agencies plan to conduct a joint motorcade and traffic escort training day on Thursday, according to a news release from the Lawrence Police Department.

Between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., drivers throughout Lawrence will see a large training procession moving through various areas of the city. The motorcade will feature multiple vehicle types, including emergency response vehicles, ambulances and motorcycle officers. They will be practicing safe intersection management and procession control.

Motorists will experience brief intersection closures as the procession passes through. Police ask drivers to follow all traffic directions from officers on scene. Law enforcement officers from area agencies will be participating alongside local officers.
