Golden Police To Present Free 'Active Shooter' Training

GOLDEN, CO – As the news every day brings stories of U.S. mass shootings in public places, you may have wondered what you would do in an "active shooter" scenario. The Golden Police Department's monthly Safety Academy is addressing just this type of incident with a free community meeting Monday June 9.

As part of the department's regular Golden Safety Academy, this month's presentation will focus on "active shooter situations and provide tips on what to do if you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation," the police department said in a press release.

The short answer is in the title of the demonstration: "Run. Hide. Fight."

The training takes place at the Golden Fire Department Station 21 (upstairs training room) at 911 10th St. Golden from 6-8 p.m. (Please park along 10th Street or in the visitor center parking lot. DO NOT park in areas designated for Fire / Police personnel).

You can RSVP online to attend here: https://www.cityofgolden.net/c...
