Join us for an informative Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) training, led by King County Sheriff’s Officer Treadway. This critical session is designed to empower you with the knowledge and strategies to enhance your safety and readiness in the event of an active shooter situation.

What is CRASE?
The CRASE program provides community members with evidence-based strategies to avoid, deny, and defend during an active shooter event. Developed by law enforcement experts, the training focuses on:

Situational awareness.
Recognizing potential threats.
Taking appropriate actions to protect yourself and others.

Why Attend?
While we hope never to encounter such emergencies, being prepared can save lives. Officer Treadway will walk us through practical tips and realistic scenarios to help you feel confident and equipped should the need arise.

This session is open to all Maple Hills residents and community members.
RSVP is not required but appreciated to help us prepare seating. (Email: Yaz.armstrong@gmail.com or https://www.facebook.com/share/1ErZpoEsn9/)
