Active shooter training is mandatory

Mandatory active shooter training starts Wednesday, Feb. 6, and runs through March 29.

An active shooter is an armed person who uses deadly force and has unrestricted access to victims.An active shooting event can occur at any time and in any place. Recent events demonstrate that no one and no place is immune from these tragedies. Mindful of this, we have asked our Department of Public Safety to provide faculty and staff with training on what actions to take in an active shooter situation. The training will include a video and scenarios, along with key indicators for recognizing potential workplace violence and the protocol for reporting concerns.

This training will be mandatory for all faculty and staff and must be completed by March 29 of this year. Attendance will be monitored and verified by the CCU identification scanning system, so plan to arrive with your ID card in hand. The sessions are one hour in length. Training dates for February are below. Dates and times for March will be sent out in another communication. They will also be posted in the March 1 edition of the HRConnect newsletter. "We’re taking your safety and the safety of our students very seriously, so those who do not participate in this required training by March 29 will be subject to administrative review," says Eddie Dyer, executive vice president. "Please make every effort to attend."
