Active Shooter Training
2023-09-15 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Phoenix) | McKenzie County Ag Expo, 12880 25th St NW, Watford City, ND, 58854
Preparing employees for a potential active shooter incident is an integral component of an
organization’s incident response planning. Because active shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve quickly, preparing for and knowing what to do in an active shooter situation
can be the difference between life and death. First responder agencies are frequently requested by schools, businesses, and community members for direction and presentations on
what they should do if confronted with an active attacker event. The Civilian Response and
Casualty Care (CRaCC) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD)
strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides strategies, guidance and a proven plan
for surviving an active shooter event. This course combines the civilian response with the
Stop the Bleed Campaign, which empowers civilians to provide life-saving medical aid before first responders ever arrive. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter
events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.
Dates:
Thursday, September 14, 8:00 am—12:00 pm
