The Atlanta Police Department is conducting a training exercise Monday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

People nearby can expect some additional radio traffic and heightened police activity in the area, especially near Gate 2 of the stadium, APD said in a statement. A portion of Andrew Young International Boulevard will be closed to cars and pedestrians.

The police are partnering with the Georgia World Congress Center Police Department and Mercedes-Benz Stadium from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The training session is closed to the public and the news media, and it is “crucial for enhancing our officers’ skills and ensuring public safety,” the department said.
