HOUSTON – The Houston Police Department says the Department of Defense, in coordination with local law enforcement agencies, is conducting training in the City of Houston.

The training is ongoing through Sept. 19.

HPD says residents may hear noise or see helicopters in the day or evening hours during the exercises.

“This type of collaborative training between local, state and federal partners is very common as we continue to work to provide the best service to the public,” HPD said in a statement posted on X. “To maintain the highest level of security, there are no public viewing opportunities planned during the exercises.”
