Are you prepared for an active shooter? Please join us to learn how you can better prepare
yourself for the unimaginable.
The City of Canton Police Department, in partnership with Cherokee
County Sheriff's Office and Canton First United Methodist Church, will be
hosting a community training program for Civilian Response to Active Shooter
Events. This course is designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend strategy
that was developed by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training
(ALERRT) Center located at Texas State University. Agency Instructors will be
teaching this instruction that is designed to provide strategies, guidance, and
a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event.
This event is open to all
citizens. Seating will be at a premium and on a first come – first serve basis. Children are welcome to attend but parental
guidance is strongly recommended as some of the presented material will contain
scenes that are sensitive to some viewers.
