State Police in Rockville Hosting Civilian Response to Active Shooter Training

Maryland State Police in Rockville will host Civilian Response to Active Shooter Training on August 22 at 6 p.m.

The 1½-hour training was developed by The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Center at Texas State University.

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. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.

The training is limited to the first 20 responses. If you have any questions, email state police by email at msp.rockville@maryland.gov.
