Purdue Police, Fire departments to offer ‘Prepared at Purdue’ training

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Purdue University Police and Fire departments are offering “Prepared at Purdue” training in February and March.

Free, in-person training classes will be offered on potential active threat events and on rendering aid as civilians to control the 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 preparing your response in advance. CRASE was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training in 2004. 

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

CRASE and “Stop the Bleed” sessions can be attended consecutively or on separate days.
