CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Following the Texas church shooting that claimed 26 lives, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is getting more calls from Clarksville-area churches about how to guard against violent attacks.
Sandra Brandon, Public Information Officer for MCSO, says the Community Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) exercise, explains how to guard against and respond to an active shooter.
“We have a team that assess the facility, followed by a class and role-play exercise where residents are put in a scenario that mimics an active shooter coming into the facility,” Brandon said.
The training team will conduct a training class Thursday, November 9 at Salem United Methodist Church.
Anyone interested in attending or scheduling a class for their church or group can contact MCSO at 931-648-0611.
Twenty-six people were killed Sunday when an armed gunman stormed a church near San Antonio, Texas.
