By Bill Moss, Published: March 20, 2016

The Hendersonville Police Department and Chief Herbert Blake invited residents of Hendersonville and surrounding communities to attend an informational and educational presentation this week on incidents of mass violence, specifically active shooting acts of violence.

With the continued increase in these types of incidents, the city police department is sharing the expertise and knowledge of supervisors and officers to let the community know about response, alleviation and recovery efforts to these types of events.

The Hendersonville Police Department has scheduled presentation at 2 p.m. Monday, March 21, and 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, at the City Operations Center at 305 Williams Street. The presentations will include modern trends in this type of disaster, statistical data on events, law enforcement response, and strategies that the public can take to diminish the impact of the event if they find themselves as victims. There will also be a short question and answer period with the law enforcement professionals who are in attendance following the presentation. There is no need to make reservations.
