When faced with an Active Shooter, the ALiCE Program, (Alert, Lockdown, inform, Counter, Evacuate) prepares individuals who may find themselves facing a violent intruder. A comprehensive approach integrates strategies using environmental design, technology, communication, law enforcement response and proactive mindset for those in immediate danger.
Violent intruder defense training is needed at every institution or organization to Save Lives! The majority of casualties from Active Shooter events happen within the first four to ten minutes. The critical gap in time between when Law Enforcement arrives is where the ALiCE program concentrates. The action taken by citizens under attack during these critical first minutes can mitigate the number of lives lost. People in the crisis zone have only minutes or even just seconds to live while waiting for law enforcement to arrive. This presentation will give valuable information on the ALiCE program and what each organization can give to their employees: “Options” to survive an Active Shooter event.
