RAID RESPONSE:  Trainings around the state this week

 

 Sensible Colorado is excited to welcome national experts from Americans for Safe Access (ASA) to Colorado to lead a number of important trainings this week.


See the workshop schedule below.
In response to recent raid activity, ASA Executive Director Steph Sherer and ASA CA Director Don Duncan will host special dispensary staff trainings and community response meetings.

Community Response Meeting:
This FREE meeting is open to all community members that want to participate in a coordinated response during and after raids. During this meeting, we will create a step-by-step community response to raids (rallies, protests, media, alert system), assign roles and tasks, and create a mechanism for ongoing outreach for community support.

Raid Preparedness Training:
This training will walk dispensary staff through protocols that they can have in place to make any law enforcement encounter as successful as possible.


Being ready can help keep a bad situation from getting worse - and it may keep staff and patients out of jail. Participants learn how to prepare in advance, how to stay safe when the police show up, and what may happen afterwards. This cutting edge training includes role plays and tools to create an effect raid plan at your dispensary.  (There is a $50 per person fee that will be collected onsite at the training)
Mark your calendar!  We will send out more specifics later this week.
