Franklin, IN -The Indiana State Police, in conjunction with the Franklin United Methodist Community, will host a public forum on the topic of active shooter situations. This forum will include presentation of the Indiana State Police’s nationally recognized program, Unarmed Response to Active Shooter Events.
The goal of the program is to provide prevention strategies and response options to increase the opportunity to survive an active shooter event. The options presented may enhance safety and security while awaiting response by law enforcement. This presentation expands the prevailing paradigm of simply “run, hide, fight” in the event of a violent encounter. This forum will provide an opportunity to speak with law enforcement about your concerns within your community, and help you prepare yourself for the unthinkable.
This program has been presented to dozens of school systems, churches and businesses around the state. Further information about this program can be located at www.in.gov/isp.
