Chief Eric Allen and his staff are hosting active shooter training for all interested and available employees. The training is from 9 a.m. to noon Friday. Light refreshments will be served. Participants will meet in Bly Hall for a 30- to 40-minute presentation. The group will move to various classrooms in the Academic Center to partake in hands-on scenarios. Participants will learn basic A.L.I.C.E. (Alter-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate) response methods and engage in different types of lockdowns, evacuations and counter strategies.
Because this is a challenging time for many employees to get away from their office, the Public Safety Department is also available to hold department-specific training. Additional trainings will also be made available to all employees throughout the academic year.
For those unable to attend or interested in providing more training within a department, please contact Chief Allen at ext. 2186 to schedule a session.

The retreat will be followed at 5 p.m. by the annual employee picnic. The cheer and dance teams and the Thiel Tomcat Marching Pride will perform. There will be activities for children, including a bounce house, face and glitter paint station, and a balloon artist.
