From the Lake in the Hills Police Department:
Lake in the Hills PD to Offer CRASE Training
The Lake in the Hills Police Department will be offering our Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) Training on Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6pm – 8pm at the Irv Floress Safety Education Center (1109 Crystal Lake Rd, Lake in the Hills).
Attendees will learn how to prepare, prevent and react during an active shooter event or mass attack in a variety of workplace and gathering environments, including religious institutions.
CRASE is built on the three principles of
- avoid,
- deny,
- defend.
Topics include:
- history and prevalence of active shooter events,
- civilian response options,
- medical issues,
- considerations for conducting drills,
- how to control the body’s physiological response to stressful situations, and
- more.
All attendees must be 18 years of age or older and must register prior to the event as space is limited.

Any questions should be directed to our Communications Coordinator via email at communityrelations@lith.org or by phone at 847-960-7539.
Three principles?
Back when, we had three words.
Duck and Cover.
Bert the Turtle didn’t mention millions of us would be cooked to 10,000 degrees no matter what gymnastics were performed.
We were a harder, tougher people 50 years ago.
Should have an add on to the course—“Stop The Bleed” Training.
Citizens used it in HP to save people shot.
Car accidents, deep wounds, shootings, main uses.
Federally funded as one of the things to “do about” active shooter cases.
Try and save lives.
Something real beyond the, “get the guns, get the guns, get the guns” mantra.
