The Madison Police Department (MPD) is offering a free training session designed to save lives in an active shooter situation, the city announced Friday. The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) session will be held on May 30 at the MPD Training Center, located at 5702 Femrite Drive, from 6–9 p.m.
Officers will present active shooter cases, highlighting the strategies victims used and the ultimate outcome of their choices. Trainers will also use realistic equipment to give people a hands-on experience and model a potential situation that could happen.
The course principles can be applied at businesses, schools, places of worship, clinics, or anywhere people gather.
The training is available to all Dane County residents. Registration is required and available here. Space is limited. Another public training will be offered in November.
