A reminder of a free public event on Monday in Jefferson that is geared toward awareness and how to plan for a possible mass shooting.

Central Christian Church in Jefferson and the Greene County Clergy Association are hosting a Civilian Response to an Active Shooter Event or CRASE training on Monday, July 25th from 7-8:30pm at Central Christian Church. Reverend Jay Alexander describes why this training is important for everyone to attend.

“Well because we’re seeing more and more of these events happening, it’s good to have people to have some idea of what they can do if they ever find themselves in a situation like this.”

Monday’s program will include an hour-long video with how to develop a safety plan, followed by an informal discussion with Jefferson Police Chief Mark Clouse. No pre-registration is necessary and refreshments will be provided.
