When zombies and cops and Halloween – oh my -- collide.
That’s the thrust of the so-called “zombie apocalypse” component of next month’s annual Counter-Terrorism Summit in San Diego, hosted by security firm HALO Corp. on a 44-acre island in the city’s Mission Bay section. Brad Barker, president of the California-based organization, said hosting the annual event over the Halloween weekend was too much temptation to resist.
“We’ve decided to throw a whimsical spin on a very well-respected training exercise,” Barker told FoxNews.com. “And in order to have an effective exercise, you have to have a crisis or a threat that makes everyone respond.”

“It’s going to be pretty scary looking."

In addition to mock terrorism scenarios featuring rural and urban environments, Barker said zombies worthy of Hollywood sets will recreate an emergency that will test how law enforcement officials and first-responders react to crises in real-time while sharing mission critical information.

?????????? HALO corporation? They're already ready for anything!

Spartan 117 returns in Halo 4, who's with me this November 6th?

Got it on pre-order.

Better watch out they don't violate FEMA's copyrights...
Very simple solution to Zombies, don't let them vote on Nov 6th, we can't afford 4 more years of this guy...
Bet they smell better than Occupy

It's likely Fiesta Island. My academy class used to do our PT there a few times a week. The run around the island sucked, but while we never encountered zombies, on the warm days there was no shortage of scantily clad San Diego State coeds sunning themselves.

How could you run with a full on boner? I'd likely run into the recruit in front of me taking in all the bountiful Casaba goodness around me.

I didn't say it was easy, nor did I say that what you described did or did not happen to a recruit or two. Haha

Marines, police prep for mock zombie invasion

SAN DIEGO – Move over vampires, goblins and haunted houses, this kind of Halloween terror aims to shake up even the toughest warriors: An untold number of so-called zombies are coming to a counterterrorism summit attended by hundreds of Marines, Navy special operations forces, soldiers, police, firefighters and others to prepare them for their worst nightmares.
"This is a very real exercise, this is not some type of big costume party," said Brad Barker, president of Halo Corp, a security firm hosting the Oct. 31 training demonstration during the summit at a 44-acre Paradise Point Resort island on a San Diego bay. "Everything that will be simulated at this event has already happened, it just hasn't happened all at once on the same night. But the training is very real, it just happens to be the bad guys we're having a little fun with."
Hundreds of military, law enforcement and medical personnel will observe the Hollywood-style production of a zombie attack as part of their emergency response training.
