ALICE Communication

Communication Strategies: Alert (A) and Inform (I)

  • Alert – Your first notification of danger and acceptance of what is communicated by sound or others
  • Inform – Communicate real-time information using clear and direct language in any way possible
ALICE Response Plan

Proactive Response Options: Evacuate (E), Lockdown (L), Counter (C)

  • Evacuate – When safe to do so, run from danger using non-traditional exits if necessary
  • Lockdown – If evacuation is not possible, barricade all entry points and prepare to Evacuate or Counter
  • Counter – If in close proximity of danger, create noise, movement, distance, and distraction to reduce the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately

Hands-on Practice

Hands-on training delivered by an ALICE Certified Instructor (ACI) is imperative for fluid recall of the ALICE strategies in an emergency.  Whether you choose to have an internal ACI in your building or an ALICE National Trainer onsite to provide the hands-on portion, allowing your entire organization to participate in the interactive portion will increase fluid recall when they need it most. Just like all other emergency response protocols you practice – active shooter response protocols should be practiced to ensure the individuals in your organization know their options no matter where they become unwilling participants in acts of violence.

57% of active shooter events are over before LE arrives.  Your employees need you to be prepared to be proactive in your own survival until they arrive to help.

“The results of this study contribute to the limited body of research indicating that teaching students the ALICE multi-option active assailant response through a discussion-based, classroom exercise can increase feelings of safety, confidence, and preparedness, without increasing feelings of fear, confusion, and worry for a substantial number of students.”
