A.L.I.C.E. Training
A.L.I.C.E. is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuation. The main objective of the program is to provide students and staff with options to increase their chance of survival during an Active Shooter on Campus emergency. Where the traditional lockdown response is passive in nature (lock doors, turn out lights and wait for help), the A.L.I.C.E. program is considered a more aggressive response. A.L.I.C.E. is a program designed to work together with Lockdown procedures used frequently in our public schools and workplaces as a defensive strategy for an Active Shooter event.
Tragic events in schools and workplaces have dictated the need of enhanced options provided to staff and students to increase their chances of surviving a horrific event. The UNA Police Department in cooperation with the UNA Education Research and Inservice Center is conducting ALICE workshops. The 3 hour A.L.I.C.E. session is designed to give participants insight and response options when encountering an active shooter. This highly effective and "common sense" training has been readily adopted by many educational law enforcement institutions throughout the United States. The training is open to everyone but we are encouraging faculty and staff to take the time to schedule a session.
Hopefully you will never have to use the information you will learn, but if a situation does arise in a classroom or in an office, you will have an idea of what you can do to increase your survivability. A.L.I.C.E. sessions are offered throughout the school year, and to groups and organizations upon request.
