As many of you have certainly noted, our society is experiencing an increase in violent events. Many community leaders. as well as citizens, are concerned about what they can or should do when confronted with these situations.

Current plans supported by research are "ALICE" (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter the Attack, Evacuate); "ADD" (Avoid, Deny, Defend), and "Run, Hide, Fight." It is important to know that oftentimes police response time may not be quick enough to intervene before significant injury or death occurs. It is imperative to have options in your plans for these violent situations.

The presentation will provide training as well as education regarding active shooter, workplace violence and situational awareness. The topics will include resources for businesses, prevention information and potential early warning signs to be cognizant of for persons in the workplace and in the community. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.
