For those who missed the staff retreat, here is information on the Active Threats training.

The Purdue Police Department offers free, in-person training classes for potential active shooter/threat events. 

The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (C.R.A.S.E.) class provides strategies, guidance, and plan options for surviving an active threat event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, and preparing in advance what your response will be. C.R.A.S.E. was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (A.L.E.R.R.T.) in 2004.

The upcoming sessions are:

Aug 23 (Fri): 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
