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,

• 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.
