“It’s a very broad class that will range from the history of active shooter events, how to prevent/detect an event prior to it happening, how to react during an event, plans of action, etc.” says LCSO Investigator, Taylor Parker.
Investigator Parker says he believes these classes will be beneficial to all attendees, and they will leave the class better equipped to protect themselves.
