Response to the Modern Day Active Shooter Program

---

Response to the Modern Day Active Shooter professional training program is designed to educate the public on one main principle: how to stay alive. In this course, you will learn the techniques and principles that will show you how to survive a modern day active shooter event.

The course is taught by security and law enforcement expert professional instructors that hold various instructor certifications in multiple active shooter programs.

In the past two decades, horrific mass shootings have affected the lives of nearly 2500 people. The average response time for law enforcement to an active attack event is three minutes. Without effective, preplanned response options for civilians at the scene of the attack, many victims can be seriously injured or killed during these three minutes. When presented, it is up to you if you will:   Run. Hide. or Fight.

The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) 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 will provide citizens within the community with a model response program to act during an active attacker event.. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.

Avoid | Deny | Defend™ has been developed as an easy to remember method for individuals to follow -  as we’ve seen that hiding and hoping isn’t a very effective strategy.
