The Redmond Police Department (RPD) is holding an active-shooter training class from 6-8 p.m. on July 23 in the Redmond City Hall Council Chambers, 15670 N.E. 85th St.

The class is open to the public.

RPD officers will teach the ALICE model (alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate) to help inform attendees how to survive an active shooter event.

The ALICE program is designed to give a person or group of people who may find themselves in a violent, life-threatening situation some mental and physical tools that could play a vital role in their survival. The program is designed so that anybody can employ the strategies: young, old, male, female — it does not matter.

To register for the class, visit www.redmond.gov/PublicSafety/Police/upcoming_trainings and complete the registration form.
