The Seal Beach Police Department will host a free presentation on “Surviving Gun Violence” on Thursday, Feb. 8, , in partnership with the McGaugh Elementary School PTA.
This presentation will:
• Provide strategies to prevent and prepare for a potentially violent incident and/or active shooter,
• Provide options to enhance survival when confronted,
• Describe actions needed to safely interact with the responding police officers,
• And provide information on keeping firearms safely secured in the home.
The presentation will be held on Thursday, February 8, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the McGaugh Elementary School auditorium located at 1698 Bolsa Avenue, Seal Beach. Although this presentation will be held at McGaugh, the topics covered are not specific to school violence or an active shooter incident at a school.
The presentation is free. It is open to all community members and no RSVP is required. Due to the themes of violence and the graphic nature of portions of this presentation, the Seal Beach Police Department is discouraging anyone under the age of 18 from attending.
Anyone with questions is encouraged to contact Captain Nick Nicholas at nnicholas@sealbeachca.gov or (562) 799-4100 ext. 1160.
