The Paris Fire Department and Paris Police Department are hosting a free Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course and a Stop The Bleed Class on Sept. 25.
The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides strategies, guidance and a proven plan for surviving an active event.
Stop The Bleed-Today we live in a world where terrorism, the actions of unstable people, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent.
Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death.
Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets.
Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding, within five to 10 minutes.
“The course is free and open to the public. Let’s work together to keep our community safe.”
The course is being held in the Paris City Council Chambers, 135 SE 1st Street, Paris, from 6-8:30 p.m.
