CENTREVILLE — “Practice. Practice.Practice.” That was the mindset of the agencies gathered together, Saturday, June 11, to participate in an active assailant drill at the Liberty Building in downtown Centreville. The Centreville Police Department, Department of Emergency Services, Emergency Management, Fire and EMS Commission, Maryland State Police, Office of the Sheriff and Queen Anne's County SWAT team participated in conjunction with Public Works and other allied agencies to complete a drill simulating the response to a potentially dangerous scenario.
Lead by the county's emergency management division, first responders completed a full-scale active assailant exercise that tested the response, coordination and plans of local law enforcement, fire and EMS agencies. The various agencies responded as a drill to the report of a possibly armed subject located inside the Liberty Building with multiple gunshot victims. Signs marking the entrances of the Liberty Building and on the streets adjacent signified to the public that a drill was in place. Notices were also posted online and on various county department websites so the public would be aware ahead of time that an exercise would be occurring on Saturday morning.
“This exercise is a great way for all agencies that would be involved in a large emergency response to work together in a safe environment. It is also a chance for everyone to test their policies and procedures and improve on them,” said Department of Emergency Services Director, Scott Haas.

Looks like post office
It's "led by", not "lead by".
