CRASE Training with ACUPD

by   |  04.15.24  |  Announcements

ACU PD will be conducting an in person training on the Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events in the Hunter Welcome Center on April 23rd and 24th from 12:30 to 2:00. Please join us on one of those dates to learn what has worked in past active shooter events and what you should do in order to increase your chances of survival. We will also be detailing the ACU PD resources that are available as well as what life saving features are in place to keep you safe while at ACU.
This training is nationally recognized through ALERRT at Texas State University. In 2013, ALERRT at Texas State was named the National Standard in Active Shooter Response Training by the FBI.
In the past two decades, horrific mass shootings have been thrust into public consciousness. Mitigating the effects of these events is the responsibility of those who serve in our communities’ public safety organizations. The public expects an effective and swift response to these threats. Research has shown, however, that many of the mass attacks, or active attack events, are over before law enforcement responders arrive on the scene. Civilians who find themselves embroiled in such an event must be prepared to take immediate action to save their own lives before law enforcement arrives. The average response time for police response to an active attack event is three minutes. Without effective, pre-planned response options for civilians at the scene of the attack, many victims can be seriously injured or killed during these three minutes.
