AMARILLO and Canyon, Texas (KFDA) - In the age of active shooters, Amarillo law enforcement wants to remind citizens about three principles: Avoid, Deny and Defend.
“Avoid means, run away, get out of that target zone,” said Sergeant Robert Huddleston at Potter County Sheriff’s Office. “The other is get behind a lock door and then find another way out, if possible, and secure yourself. The last thing is to defend yourself by any means available, if necessary.”
Over the past several years, police across our area has been offering what’s called, Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events or CRASE training to businesses, churches and individuals with the goal to empower the community.
