AVERT: Active Violence Emergency Response Training
Wednesday, July 31 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
The FBI defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. According to the FBI, in 2022 50 shootings were designated as "active shooter incidents"(read the findings here). The news today is filled with stories of workplace violence, smash and grab break-ins and other violent situations. Don’t be a victim of violent crime. Learn how you can protect yourself and avoid being a victim of violent crime. Don’t let yourself or your business become a violent crime statistic.
The Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles knows the importance of workplace and personal safety. By living in an urban environment, we are always at risk of violent crime and must know when and how to react in such situations. That’s why we have partnered with the Health and Safety Institute to bring you the AVERT certification course to help prepare you if an act of violence occurs. With AVERT – Active Violence Emergency Response Training - you’ll learn how to recognize the signs of danger, react appropriately, and make rapid survival decisions. AVERT goes beyond active shooter response training by also teaching how to control life-threatening bleeding. When violence occurs, seconds count, and you can’t always wait for EMS to arrive. This training enables you to become an immediate responder by giving you the tools to prepare for potential violence and react quickly in life-threatening situations. Upon completing the AVERT training session, you and your community will be able to:
- Recognize warning signs using situational awareness
- Decide whether to Escape, Evade or Attack
- Apply critical bleeding control techniques
- Respond quickly and confidently in an emergency
- Develop an Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
Instructors are AVERT Certified, Law Enforcement, EMS and Public Safety Experts. The instructor-led, in-person session lasts approximately three hours and includes dynamic hands-on training, realistic drills and education with encouraging feedback.
