The CU Boulder Police Department (CUPD) is once again hosting free active harmer response classes for faculty, staff and students. No registration is needed; simply show up ready to learn what to do in an active harmer situation, using a nationally-approved safety protocol.听
The next class will be offered Tuesday,听Nov. 30, from 10听a.m. to noon听in the University Memorial Center (UMC), Room 235. Drop-ins are welcome. If that date is not convenient, a repeat of the class will be offered Wednesday, Dec. 1, from 2 to 4听p.m., also in UMC 235.
CUPD teaches the course using the Department of Homeland Security鈥檚 鈥淩un, Hide, Fight鈥� program. Instruction includes a combination of video, lecture and interactive discussion, with time to answer questions. In the aftermath of events like the King Soopers mass shooting in Boulder last March, officers will be sensitive to triggering language and visuals.听
The training highlights proactive response techniques developed by experts to increase the probability of survival in an active harmer situation. 鈥淐UPD is glad to be able to offer this free course once again,鈥� said Sgt. Eric Edford, who is one of the instructors. 鈥淲e鈥檝e had positive feedback from past participants and feel this is something we can do to help instill a sense of security in our campus community.鈥澨�
