The Lewisville Police Department is rolling out an offer to community members who wish to learn how to respond in the unlikely yet terrifying possibility of an active shooter event, and seats are still available for those interested. Their social media post reached out with the message, "REMINDER SEATS ARE STILL OPEN," inviting locals to the Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (C.R.A.S.E.) Training, a course designed to provide crucial preparation and empowerment in case of a crisis, as per the Lewisville Police Department.
Set for June 28, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the training session promises to impart practical strategies for ensuring one's safety, including situational awareness and rapid decision-making and with the aim of the course being to prepare and not to scare, it is led by LPD Certified Trainers experienced in the grim realities of active shooter situations. Participation is open to all adults over the age of 18, and the best part, there's no need for any prior experience to join.
The two-hour session is scheduled to take place at Thrive, located at 1950 S Valley Parkway, and considering the course's potential life-saving information, it's a much sought-after event, yet there seems to be a hesitation to secure those final few spots. Individuals ready to take that step towards personal and community preparedness can reserve their spot through a link provided on the police department's Facebook post.
