"People were interested in learning how they could get involved, how they could make a difference but keep themselves safe. And that's exactly what this training offers," said the library's director Derek Wolfgram. "We know from the numbers, from real people's experiences, the power other people stepping in can have," said Noor Traina of CAIR SF Bay Area.
"If somebody has pulled a knife on somebody else, they don't train you to jump in the middle and separate the people. It's really about how you can provide support to the person without putting yourself at risk," said Wolfgram.
