Colorado State University Police Department is hosting an emergency management preparedness training for emergency responders from across the nation from Monday, May 24, through Thursday, May 27.
The training will be held at Canvas Stadium and focuses on drills for first responders on active threat scenarios that specifically target large event venues when many people are present with the intent to cause high numbers of injuries and casualties.
The training aims to help police respond to incidents such as the one that has occurred at the Mandalay Bay Hotel during the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. It will be attended by first responders from across the nation, and the training’s public health measures have been approved by the university’s Pandemic Preparedness Team.
