New Flagstaff safety council hosts free community trainings to create well-informed populace

Oct. 29, 2019

Flagstaff Community Safety (FCS), a program formed with the goal of creating a better community, is hosting two free community events on violent attack response and first aid skills. These events are co-sponsored by the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and the Flagstaff Police Department; officers from both will provide training and knowledge of contemporary industry standards on the topics of discussion.

Northern Arizona University students, faculty and staff, along with community members, are encouraged to participate in FCS training in addition to the active shooter response training and general safety/security programs created by NAUPD.

“Civilian Response to Active Shooter/Attack” will prepare attendees in courses of action for when a violent attack might occur. The class will take place from 6-8:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at the DoubleTree Hilton, 1175 W. Route 66. Register for free online by Nov. 1.

“Intro to Stop the Bleed” equips community members with vital medical skills that could potentially save a life during an act of violence. The class will prepare attendees for certification upon completing the hands-on portion of “Stop the Bleed.” Join FCS 6-7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 at the DoubleTree Hilton, 1175 W. Route 66. Register for free online by Nov. 4.
