Unprecedented citizen response prompts Franklin Police to offer fourth active shooter emergency response seminar for citizens

Registration for our July 27 offering has closed. Due to overwhelming citizen response, there are no remaining seats for that class. The Department has scheduled our fourth offering of this free 1.5 hour seminar, designed to help keep citizens safe during the unthinkable.

It can happen anytime, anywhere – and it does. Acts of mass violence in public places and work settings continue to rock communities across America to their core. “Franklin Police Officers always stand at the ready to deal with the unthinkable,” said Chief Deborah Faulkner. “Community preparedness, combined with law enforcement response to these situations, can make a difference – and save lives.”

On August 4, Franklin Police Officers will share with citizens, employers, and community leaders, way to improve their response to an unforeseen, mass violence encounter. During the one and a half hour seminar, officers will discuss three main, national best practices: Avoid, Deny, Defend.

The seminar is free, and open to the public – but pre-registration is required.
