PUPD to offer free active threat training in October

The Purdue University Police Department offers free, in-person training classes for potential active threat events, and training for civilians to render aid to control bleeding of injured persons. 

The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (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 advance preparation for a response. CRASE was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training in 2004. 

“Stop the Bleed” teaches someone to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control it. Attendees will learn three quick techniques and become empowered to make a potential life or death difference if a bleeding emergency happens.
