BART Police to conduct training exercises at Colma Station Oct. 14

From 11 am to 8 pm on Sunday, Oct. 14, the BART Police SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team will conduct training exercises at Colma Station. BART will have a train parked at the out-of-service platform in the station. The exercises at the station will provide a practical application of classroom training in planning for and implementing effective and safe tactical operations in and around BART stations and trains.

Although the training area itself will be away from customer accessed areas, please do not be alarmed if you hear or observe activity related to this special training. The training will not disrupt regular service schedules. Please do not be alarmed if you see uniformed SWAT officers accessing the training area or emergency vehicles parked in the parking lot on the training days. We appreciate your understanding of the need for these types of practice events.
