The class is taught by former first responder Malinda Malone who teaches students how to prepare for active violence, which includes role playing and adapting to various circumstances, according to a press release.
The class also teaches the fundamentals on possible actions one may need to take, either alone or as a part of a group, the release states.
Ms. Malone says the class will teach effective strategies to improve your chances of survival, and how to adapt one’s response if active violence occurs.
“We’ve have seen over the last 25 years that active shootings can happen at schools, malls, churches, concerts, night clubs —- there is no place that is immune and it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” Ms. Malone said in a prepared statement. “This course will teach you the basic fundamentals on how to re-act and defend yourself when violent threat occurs.”
