U.S. Embassy Warsaw cooperated with Polish law enforcement authorities
to hold a crisis management exercise at the U.S. Embassy on March 13.
The exercise, a vital part of the Embassy’s crisis management planning,
simulated a hostage taking scenario and included the participation of
the Polish police, SWAT teams and other emergency response units.
“This was the largest, most detailed, most complex and most instructive
exercise that an embassy has ever done,” said Douglas Kinney, State
Department Crisis Management Team Leader, who visited Warsaw for this
exercise. “We are grateful to the Polish authorities for their
participation in this useful exercise,” noted Deputy Chief of Mission
Kenneth Hillas.
