Military training exercise, Grand Etang, St Andrew

In an official public announcement issued through the Office of the Commissioner of Police, the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) has confirmed a key schedule adjustment for an upcoming military training exercise set to take place in the parish of St Andrew.

Originally planned to run from Monday, July 6 to Thursday, July 9, 2026 at the Grand Etang training site, the drill has been pushed back to a new window: Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12, 2026.

As with any organized military training activity of this type, the exercise will incorporate non-lethal training munitions, specifically blank rounds, along with smoke screen pyrotechnics to simulate realistic operational conditions. The RGPF moved quickly to reassure local residents and visitors who may be in the area during the exercise period, emphasizing that all activity will be held under strictly controlled, pre-planned conditions and that there is no reason for public concern or alarm.

Acknowledging that any change to a previously announced public event can disrupt personal plans, travel itineraries or local activities, the law enforcement agency issued a formal apology for any inconvenience the rescheduling may cause. It also expressed gratitude in advance for the understanding and cooperation of the Grenadian public as the training proceeds.

This announcement follows standard public notification protocols for security training activities in the country, designed to keep communities informed and prevent unnecessary public disruption or anxiety.
