Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) Trainings
YOU hold the power to make a difference in your safety and the safety of others in the first few minutes of an active shooter incident. Using the principles of Avoid, Deny, Defend can significantly increase your chance of survival.
Officers present strategies developed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) and active shooter case studies that highlight strategies used by survivors and the ultimate outcomes of their choices.
This training is available in two formats (see below for descriptions.) A minimum of 2 hours is needed to carry out this training, but more time may be necessary depending on group size.
Both training formats are FREE.
Attending As An Individual
We request that groups of less than 15 participants attend training provided at the Madison Police Department (MPD) Training Center. MPD personnel provide this training as a collateral assignment; as a result, the number of external training sessions we can provide is limited. You can sign up for one of the upcoming dates listed below through EventBrite
- November 5, 2025: 8:00 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Bring Training To Your Group
For groups larger than 15, we can lead the presentation at your organization or business. In addition to the minimum attendance requirement, your facility must have the necessary audio-visual equipment to display a slide deck presentation. To request training, please fill out the form below.
