South Brunswick PD Continues Active Shooter Training For Public

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — The South Brunswick Police Active Shooter Awareness Preparedness program has instructed more than 400 people in less than two weeks, the police department announced this week.

As Patch previously reported, the South Brunswick police department launched the first-of-its-kind training program on the one-year anniversary of Parkland: How to respond in an active-shooter situation.

“The response to the program is tremendous. Our hope is that every business, house of worship, and community group asks us to come present this training,” said Chief Raymond Hayducka.

Just this past Friday, Feb. 22, officers went to the Hyundai Motor America headquarters in South Brunswick and trained all the employees on what to do if there was an active shooter situation.

The one-hour program is designed to increase community members’ situational awareness and ability to respond to an active shooter.

A community presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at Crossroads North Middle School at 635 Georges Road, Monmouth Junction.

If you are interested in attending the March 12th presentation email pdtraining@sbtnj.net with your name. In the subject line of the email type YES – MARCH 12th. If you want more information about the program, or would like us to come to do a presentation at your business, house of worship, or organization email pdtraining@sbtnj.net.

“This program can be universally applied to any facility or company," said Township Manager Bernie Hvozdovic, Jr. "We designed it to expand our outreach efforts after seeing the training work so well with our Township employees. We want to continue to see the program grow and are encouraging all groups to reach out to us.”
