Founded in 1996 in the Cleveland Field Office, InfraGard’s goal is to promote “ongoing dialogue and timely communication between members and the FBI.”
The June meeting of the Delaware chapter of IngraGard will begin with registrations and refreshments. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to network with their peers. After an introduction and welcome, Master Corporal James P. Warwick and Master Corporal Donald R. Boulerice of the Delaware State Police will lead the crowd in a presentation on what and what not to do in the case on an active shooter on campus or in the workplace. This presentation will include how to prepare yourself mentally and tactically for an active shooting, the psychological and physiological effects of experiencing a life threatening situation and a briefing on school shootings and the lessons learned from them.
