CRASE Course - Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events

Law enforcement officers and agencies are frequently requested by schools, businesses, and community members for direction and presentations on what they should do if confronted with an active shooter event.

Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, the role of professional guardians, civilian response options, medical issues, and drills. Participants in this four-hour Train-the-Trainer course will receive a manual and PowerPoint presentation suitable for use in their own presentations. If your business or group would like more information on this course or would like to be trained, please email Officer Christopher Dingman .

ALICE Training - Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate

ALICE is committed to increasing survivability in a violent intruder event through training proactive response options. There are more ways than one to be prepared for a violent event. Whether you are at a mall, in a theater, grocery shopping, attending a game or listening to a concert, you have options. When ALICE response strategies are implemented, unwilling participants in the event are empowered to choose their best survival option. Seconds count during a violent event and the actions taken in between when the event begins and law enforcement arrives are significant and can increase survivability. Currently, the Boerne Independent School District has completed ALICE training for most of its staff and administrators.

If you are interested in completing the wo-hour ALICE training course, email Lieutenant Chris Walk or email Officer Rebecca Foley.
