Don't get worried if you notice an increased presence of law enforcement at Fairleigh Dickinson University's College at Florham Tuesday.

FDU will host more than 100 law enforcement officers from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. for critical incident response training, according to Capt. Robert Treiber of the Florham Park Police Department, which is organizing the drill.

"The purpose of this training [is] to assess the mutual aid response of various law enforcement, EMS and OEM personnel responding to a large scale crisis on a college campus," Treiber said.

Members of 12 different local, county and federal law enforcement agencies will all be involved in the drill, along with the Florham Park Office of Emergency Management and Morris County Office of Emergency Management.
