Ramapo Police Conduct Civilian Response to Active Shooter Event at YSV

M.C. Millman

The Ramapo Police Department held a Civilian Response to Active Shooter Event (CRASE) training yesterday for staff at the Yeshiva of Spring Valley.

CRASE courses are designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) in 2004 and provide strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. 

Topics of the approximately two-hour training include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and consideration for conducting drills. 

Organizations interested in participating in a CRASE course should contact the Ramapo Police Department.
