CHARLEVOIX COUNTY, MI. The Michigan State Police, United States Coast Guard, and local agencies
will be conducting an emergency response training exercise on Beaver Island in Charlevoix County on
April 28th and 29th.
Local residents on Beaver Island will see an increase in emergency response activities as multiple
agencies will be testing response and law enforcement capabilities between Charlevoix and Beaver

Coast Guard units, Michigan State Police (MSP), Charlevoix Emergency Management, the Charlevoix
County Sheriff’s Office, the Little Traverse Bay Band of Ottawa Indians, and other government and civil
emergency response agencies in Northern Michigan to confirm and test response capabilities. The focus
