Several Greenwich police officers will act in an unusual role today, playing the part of terrorists in a counter-terrorism drill at the University of Bridgeport, officials said.
The event is being run by the Department of Homeland Security and will involve numerous police departments from the surrounding area, including Greenwich, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stamford and Norwalk, according to Scott Appleby, director of Bridgeport's Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
"The scenario is based on a criminal element taking 25-50 people hostage," said Appleby....
