The Kewanee Police Department along with Louisiana State University’s NCBRT/Academy of Counter-Terrorist Education is offering a Run. Hide. Fight. Class that is open to the public.
Through this class, participants will learn how to respond to active threats. .
Surviving an Active Threat – Run. Hide. Fight. is a performance-level training course developed by the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training – NCBRT at LSU. It’s designed to prepare individuals—especially those who aren’t traditional first responders—for how to react during an active threat situation, such as an active shooter incident.
The course educates participants how to react when faced in an emergency situation and is tailored for a wide range of people from educators to healthcare workers, volunteers and everyday citizens.
Instructor led, the eight-hour course takes participants through real case studies, and offers group discussions and practical exercises to reinforce the strategies. The goal is to empower people with knowledge and confidence to make spur of the moment decisions that may help save their life or the life of others.
The Run. Hide. Fight. Class is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, August 12 from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at the Office of Emergency Management located at 4424 Walter Payton Memorial Hwy – Rt. 34 in Kewanee.
This class is free and open to all residents. Registration is required. Questions can be directed to Shaun Gruszecka at sgruszecka@cityofkewanee.net.
