Don't be alarmed if you see large numbers of law enforcement personnel gathered in several sites across the state of Texas early next week. Multiple agencies will be holding a statewide Full-Scale Training Exercise (FTX) led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Those exercises will include role players portraying attackers and victims.
