With homeland security a growing concern for communities across metro Detroit, a local college has launched a $5.4-million facility that trains emergency officials in a real-life environment and features the first ship simulator in Michigan.

The college’s ship simulator allows first responders to conduct antiterrorism exercises, search for weapons of mass destruction aboard a ship and deal with fires and fuel spills. Nearby sits a 45-foot-long airplane simulator, which allows emergency workers to conduct similar exercises.
