PUPD to offer free active threat training in October and November

As part of an outreach effort for the campus community, the Purdue University Police Department is offering free, in-person training classes for potential active threat events in October and November. 

The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events, or CRASE, 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. CRASE was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training in 2004. 

The session times and locations are:

• Oct 17: 9 -11 a.m.

Rawls Hall, Room 2082

• Oct 20: 2-4 p.m.

Horticulture Building, Room 117

• Nov 15: 9-11 a.m.

Peirce Hall, Room 77 

• Nov 28: 8-10 a.m.

Honors College Residence Hall, Honors Hall

• Nov 28: 1-3 p.m.

Honors College Residence Hall, Honors Hall 

The same information is contained in each four-hour training session, so register for only one. 

To register for one of these sessions, contact Lt. Sarah Clark at sclark32@purdue.edu and indicate your preferred session.

Affiliation with Purdue is not required to register; however, priority will be given to Purdue faculty, staff, students and affiliates.

In addition to CRASES classes, PUPD offers community outreach events throughout the year, including verbal de-escalation training.
