Public Safety Community Outreach and Engagement

UPD teaches Active Shooter Response Training to mentally prepare our campus for violent attacks. Participants who attend Active Shooter Response Training learn about the actions that everyday people can take to survive a dangerous encounter with a violent intruder. Active Shooter Response training can be conducted in your office/department to evaluate the current security of your space. During the training, participants are taught to utilize each of the principles learned during the lecture so they can understand the benefits of each strategy. Participants are taught the value of teamwork in overcoming a potential attacker.
