Although one鈥檚 odds of being involved in an active harmer situation are close to the chances of being struck by lightning, people who have undergone training and find themselves in the midst of such an incident have a much higher probability of survival.

The CU Boulder Police Department听(CUPD) offers a听听on workplace violence and active harmer response and prevention, generally held for campus departments upon request.听In February, CUPD听launched sessions focused specifically on active harmer response. These sessions were open to the entire campus community, a format that seemed to work well for participants.

As a result, CUPD is offering its听second-level active harmer course in this open-to-the-campus-community听format with two sessions at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27.听This class lasts about two and a half hours and examines in greater detail studies听and statistics on workplace violence and active harmer events.

The level-two听course is听geared as a proactive training on how to recognize threat behaviors, report them and help prevent an incident from occurring. The group will explore common traits in the majority of these听attacks, as well as clues that are found in the pre-attack behaviors of active harmers. Also, the class will听review the significant resources available at CU Boulder, including a threat analysis and a mental-health professional intervention to stop听a potential aggressor.

Active Harmer Level 2听builds on the first level of the听class, so participants must have attended听the first-level course to register. (If you haven't had a chance to take the , two sessions will be offered at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17.)

The level-one class introduces听basic response options for an imminent harm situation, reviewing basic statistical data on active harmer incidents and screening the 鈥淪hots Fired!鈥� video as a group. After watching the video, the instructor will discuss how to react if you ever find yourself in one of these situations.

In each of the courses, every effort is made to address concerns, dispel myths and develop response options, regardless of whether an active harmer event occurs on campus or elsewhere.

If you are not able to attend one of these sessions, CUPD highly recommends watching the on the CUPD website.
