Every day we take responsibility and measures to ensure our own safety and security. We lock up our homes when we leave for work, use a seat belt in the car, and we lock our cars when we get to work. On the job we use firewalls or antiviral software, or wear personal protective gear. We also have the duty to protect our children, which is one reason we teach them to look both ways before crossing the street. Unfortunately, mass shootings & attacks in the workplace and at school are becoming an ever increasing threat. In line with our mission and our commitment to create a safe and secure community, the Euclid Police Department is offering active shooter preparation to schools, businesses and community groups. The department will provide schools & businesses with a site security assessment. Click on this link for an active shooter preparedness resource: Active Threat Preparedness
