Active Shooter Training & University of Delaware Case Study

Active Shooter Training

Law enforcement officers and agencies are frequently requested by schools, businesses, and community members for direction and presentations on what they should do if confronted with an active shooter event. The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) in 2004, provides strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, what to expect when police arrive and medical issues, amongst others. FBI Special Agent Michael Copeland returns to MAPA to teach the full 3 hour Active Shooter Training class.

University of Delaware Case Study: Making the Move to LPR Enforcement and Automating Operations

In the fall semester 2016 the University of Delaware Parking Services invoked virtual permits with license plate recognition (LPR) enforcement campus-wide. In January 2017, they removed the garage gates and the parking system was changed to pay when you arrive from pay when you leave. Jennifer Sparks, Manager, Parking Services, University of Delaware will present their plan for changing over from PARCS to LPR and gateless operations. She and her staff will cover the decision-making process, the ins and outs of implementation and provide a cost benefit analysis. If you're thinking of changing over your parking operations equipment, then this is a presentation not to be missed!
