The exercise will help Flotilla 10-10 members train with the equipment, while also keeping the hazardous waste the flares generate from going into local landfills and waterways.
The training is scheduled to begin at approximately 10 a.m. Monday morning.
The police department says the flares may be visible from long distances and are anticipating an influx of concerned calls.
