In an effort to bolster community preparedness amidst a landscape punctuated by the specter of random violence, the Mansfield Police Department has partnered with surrounding DFW Metroplex Police Departments and local faith communities to offer a course on how individuals can navigate the harrowing realities of active shooter scenarios. Addressing the necessity of such training, a social media post from the Mansfield Police Department revealed details about the upcoming Citizens Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) training class, stating its goal to provide "guidance and strategies on how to survive during an active shooter event."
The CRASE training, underscored by recent national tragedies that lay bare the fragility of public spaces, will be held on the morning of June 28, at two select locations within the community and the urgency and importance of this training telling in the very partnerships the Mansfield Police Department has forged; these sessions will unfold at Mansfield Methodist Church and Bethlehem Church. Those interested in participating are directed to register individually for one of the limited seats available at each location, utilizing a QR code for sign-up provided in the initial announcement.
For individuals seeking to partake in this proactive educational measure, the departments emphasized that while there are no alterations in the schedule, each person must complete their registration separately to ensure orderly attendance, and all contact details should be timely and accurate for the dissemination of potential updates regarding the training. Questions concerning the event can be channeled through Cecily Santana, reachable via her official email at [email protected], denoted clearly in the official statement to facilitate easy communication.
