Lehigh Valley Consortium of Professional Organizations
Monday, October 17, 2016 4:00 PM
@ The Barristers Club, 1114 W Walnut St. Allentown, PA. 18102
Topic: This month’s program will be “CRASE” (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events), developed by the Center for Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (“ALERRT”) at Texas State University. Since 2004, ALERRT has trained over 85,000 law enforcement professionals nationwide in rapid response to terrorist acts, mass shootings, and other dangerous, active threat situations. For individuals who find themselves involved in such incidents, we’ve learned from sad experience that hiding and hoping isn’t a very effective strategy. The CRASE program was developed to give civilians a simple plan of action – Avoid, Deny, Defend — designed to maximize their chances of surviving an active shooter event. The program will be taught by Emanuel Kapelsohn, Esq. (“Manny”), who is an attorney with Lesavoy Butz & Seitz LLC, and is a nationally-prominent law enforcement trainer and use of force consultant.
