Personal Safety

Personal safety includes a wide variety of topics for community members of all ages.

Random Acts of Violence

The police department provides free training to businesses, schools, churches and other organizations on random acts of violence, also commonly referred to as "active shooter training." The one and a half hour class covers three tactics community members can use to keep themselves, and others, safe during a random act of violence. Email the police department to find out more and schedule a training for your students, volunteers, and employees.
