PUPD to offer free active threat training in June

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

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 preparing in advance what the response will be. CRASE was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training in 2004.

The June 2024 sessions are:

  • Friday, June 14, 9:30-11:30 a.m., at Purdue University Police Department (Terry House, 205 S. Martin Jischke Drive)
  • Wednesday, June 19, 1:30-3:30 p.m., in RAWLS 1011 (Rawls Hall, 100 S. Grant St.)
  • Monday, June 24, 9:30-11:30 a.m., in BRNG B222 (Beering Hall of Liberal Arts and Education, 100 N. University St.)

To register for one of these sessions, contact Lt. Sarah Clark at sclark32@purdue.edu. Indicate the preferred session when registering.

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