Police To Hold a Course on How to Survive An Active Shooting

DUNWOODY, GA -- On Feb. 23, the Dunwoody Police Department will provide training on Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE). The course will be held from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the City Council Chambers. This two-hour course will provide strategies, guidance and plans for surviving an active shooter event.

CRASE is a course that was developed by the ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) Center at Texas State University, and is now taught nationwide.

“According to the FBI, over half of all Active Shooter events in the US have been stopped by a citizen,” stated Chief Billy Grogan. “Because of this, it is important that citizens are offered training similar to that which is provided to our police officers.”

This is a free course and is open to the general public. Registration is required and seats are limited to the first 90 registrants.
