A.L.I.C.E. is a program designed to increase your chances of surviving an active shooter or violent intruder event on campus. The program utilizes five key components; Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Escape and encourages community members to take an active role in their own survival.
Planning for an active shooter/violent intruder incident is not something that should be a priority in any school setting, however the significant increase in violence at schools from grade-school through college now necessitates that every member of a community plan for the unthinkable. Incidents such as Columbine, Northern Illinois University, and Virginia Tech are the notable events, however school violence is something that occurs on a daily basis in the United States today. What the A.L.I.C.E. program teaches is how to utilize the strategies that have been proven to work best during such incidents and how to maximize the available information to make the best decision for your situation.
