Event Description:
Recent national tragedies and local examples remind us that the risk is real; an active shooter incident can happen in any place at any time. Mass shootings start and end very quickly; first responders often cannot get to a scene in time. Sixty-three percent of active shooter events are concluded by the 15-minute mark, either by police action or by suspect suicide. The best way to make sure you and your loved ones stay safe is to prepare ahead of time and be ready. Taking a few steps now and mentally rehearsing what to do can help you react quickly when every second counts. Peace is hosting an event led by Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Jerz, a local leader in training people all over the county. The date will be Feb. 23, starting at 10:00 a.m. It will conclude before noon. Please let us know that you are coming so we can prepare adequately. The learning objectives are that by the end we should be able to... • Understand why advance preparation is essential. • Develop a survival mindset. • Learn options on how to respond during an active shooter incident.
