While the likelihood of an active shooter event is rare, all employees should know how to recognize the signs of potential violence and what their role is during an active shooter situation this training strengthens and reinforces an organization’s emergency action plan and can help reduce the risk of an incident occurring. This training is scheduled for 3:30 until 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 26, at the Community Education Center in St. Marys. It is also Act 48 approved for teachers to earn their continuing education credits.
