ALICE Training is a widely adopted, effective method of active shooter response training. ALICE is the original civilian active shooter response training program delivered with a trauma-informed approach in an age- and ability-appropriate way. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. Alert is your first notification of danger. Lockdown involves barricading the room and preparing to evacuate or counter if needed. Inform focuses on communicating the violent intruder’s location and direction in real-time. Counter entails creating noise, movement, distance, and distraction with the intent of reducing the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately; it is not fighting. Evacuation means removing yourself from the danger zone when safe to do so. ALICE Training provides tools to support school training plans, perform safety drills and exercises, and certify K-12 school staff.
