The latest speaker at Fillmore Rotary was Dave Songer, Detective Assistant to the DA and grandson-inlaw of Pastor George Golden. Dave has spent the last 34 years in various areas of law enforcement. He has been to many mass shootings and other emergency situations and has put together a program on how to prepare and what to do if you are involved. He has trained police, sheriffs, CHP, firefighters and FBI. Communication and preparation to be mentally prepared is the key. Dave told Rotary how most people react when faced with a bad situation: denial, freeze, etc. He gave us instructions on how to avoid a problem, such as being aware of your surroundings and have a plan of what to do if something happens. The plan will consist of recognizing the situation is real; mentally this prepares your brain to react so you can do what you need to do.
