Police department offering active threat and bleeding control training on Sept. 18
The Purdue University Police Department is offering free, in-person active shooter/threat and bleeding control training sessions on Thursday, Sept. 18.
The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (C.R.A.S.E.) class provides strategies, guidance and planning 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. C.R.A.S.E. was designed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (A.L.E.R.R.T.) in 2004.
Stop the Bleed teaches the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding. Attendees will learn three quick techniques and become empowered to make a potential life or death difference if a bleeding emergency happens.
Upcoming sessions:
- C.R.A.S.E.: 8:30-10:30 a.m.
- Stop the Bleed: 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
The sessions will be held at the Purdue University Police Department (205 S. Martin Jischke Drive) in the Large Conference Room.
To register, contact Lt. Sarah Clark at sclark32@purdue.edu. Attendees may register for both sessions, or for only one of the sessions. Please indicate the preferred sessions when registering.
Affiliation with Purdue is not required to register.
