Law enforcement agencies, including the 抖阴旅行射 Boulder Police Department, have trained on responses to active harmer incidents. Be mindful that police response will occur as expediently as possible, but in the first few minutes of such an incident you may have to rely on your own actions to ensure your safety.
鈥淲e are pleased to be able to present this virtual course that anyone can access, at any time,鈥� said Garry DeJong, director of Events and Emergency Management at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder. 鈥淲e recommend that all 抖阴旅行射 affiliates watch the course, possibly making it a group activity for work teams, classes and other groups, to ensure as many people as possible are exposed to this valuable content,鈥� he said.听
The virtual course can serve as an introduction to more comprehensive active harmer response training offered by the university, including a longer video-based course and/or in-person training.
抖阴旅行射 Boulder uses the Department of Homeland Security鈥檚 Run, Hide, Fight response philosophy and 抖阴旅行射PD regularly hosts in-depth, 90-minute active harmer response classes for faculty, staff, and students.听
