Plano, Texas, is stepping up its approach to an increasingly prevalent threat, offering citizens tools and knowledge to save lives during active shooter events. The Plano Police Department is hosting its Quarterly Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) presentation tomorrow, aiming to educate the public on how to respond should they ever face such a critical situation.
This critical training will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Davis Library Program Room. It's an opportunity for the community to learn from Officer Sheldon Krc and Officer Chris Bianez, who specialize in Homeland Security and Crime Prevention. These presentations are increasingly important in a country grappling with the scourge of mass shootings. The event does not require prior registration. It's open to anyone interested in learning about survival strategies.
The department’s social media post informs residents that the session will not only cover the history and prevalence of active shooter events but will also delve into recognizing the mental and physical responses of the human body under extreme stress. According to the Plano Texas Police Department's Facebook post, the presentation is designed "to provide strategies and guidance to increase your survivability should the unthinkable happen to survive active shooter events."
