In response to concerns about the Novel Coronavirus, we feel that it is prudent, at this juncture, to postpone the March 19, 2020 Civilian Response and Casualty Care – Part 2 training course. While we recognize that the risk of transmission in reportedly low, we are compelled to postpone the course indefinitely out of an abundance of caution. As always, the safety and well-being of our citizens is our primary concern. When more is known or when the risk is eliminated, we will reschedule the class.
In February, the Middlesex Police Department launched its Safety Education Series. The series consists of five different modules of training – some offering important instructions on providing critical, lifesaving measures while others provide useful safety information and tips.

The Civilian Response and Casualty Care (CRCC) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides strategies, guidance and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. This course combines the civilian response with the Stop the Bleed Campaign, which empowers civilians to provide life-saving medical aid before first responders ever arrive. Topics include civilian response options, medical issues, bleeding control and light physical practice drills.

Don’t Get Vaped In Thursday, September 10, 2020
Time TBA
Middlesex Public Library, Community Room
Tobacco Free for a Healthy NJ (TFHNJ), a program funded by the NJ Department of Health, recognizes that vaping has become an epidemic among our middle and high school students. According to data from CDC and the FDA’s National Youth Tobacco Survey, the percentage of high school children reporting past 30-day use of e-cigarettes rose by more than 75% between 2017 and 2018. In a response to this alarming trend TFHNJ has created the “Don’t Get Vaped In” training program. This presentation will educate adults on the dangers of vaping by our youth and others.
