Vermont's Department of Public Safety is offering a new public safety initiative, SurviVermont, to educate and empower Vermonters with actions they can take to protect themselves and family members if they are confronted with an active shooter or violent situation. Supported by a grant from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance, SURVIVERMONT combines three easy-to-remember concepts from established federal public safety programs: See Something, Say Something; Run, Hide and Fight; and Stop the Bleed.

There is a training on August 10: 6-7:30 p.m., Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks,124 State Place Rutland. 30 seats available. The link below will take you to the full schedule and registration. https://vem.vermont.gov/news/new-trainings-related-active-shooter-and-violent-threat-situations
