Civillian Response to Active Shooter Event is Tuesday

PERRYSBURG — Law enforcement officers and agencies are frequently requested by schools, businesses, and community members for direction and presentations on what they should do if confronted with an active shooter event.

Members of the Wood County Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team (SWAT) will be presenting Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE), designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend strategy along with Stop the Bleed Training on Tuesday, starting at 4 p.m., in the Penta Career Center auditorium, 9301 Buck Road.

Medics will demonstrate how to identify life-threatening bleeding, how to control it, and you will learn direct pressure techniques, tourniquets, and hemostatic gauze.

After this training there will be a presentation on “Stop the Bleed.”

Both events are free and open to the public.

Given the continued active shooter/active attack incidents globally, it’s crucial to be ready.
