ALICE Training FAQs
ALICE Training® has transitioned from a pure Instructor-led model of training that could take years to fully implement organization-wide, to a Blended Model of e-learning and Instructor-Led training which can be done in a matter of weeks. The user-level people will be trained with the classroom/theory portion being conducted via ALICE Training’s web training portal, and then that training is furthered by an ALICE Trained Instructor conducting hands-on demonstrations, drills and scenarios. In just a matter of weeks, the organization can become an ALICE Certified Organization. And as such, we are communicating that nothing is as important as our organization’s safety and security.
While no one can guarantee a lawsuit will not follow any critical incident, the strong defense of following the “best practices” and “standard-of-care” that is called for by our federal and state guidelines is what a reasonable court/jury would expect. It certainly puts us in a better position of defense than if we were NOT aligning with those recommendations.
Yes, ALICE Trained Institutions have had several situations where some part(s) of ALICE Training® protocols were incorporated and the outcome was deemed by those in the event as positive due to their ALICE Training.
ALICE Training® was the pioneer in active shooter preparation training in our country. They were the first program to question the reasonableness of “lockdown-only” policies and training. Because they were first, they have the most experience, the credibility and the most support for implementation of our program.
While the decision to allow an “opt-out” is up to the organization/company, it is always good to have everyone do the training so they know what to expect. If they choose not to participate when the times comes, once again that is a personal decision.
Although Armed Security perhaps would get help on scene quicker, there are no guarantees that they would be exactly where they could make a difference. With shots going off every four to fifteen seconds historically in Active Shooter events, occupants must know what to do to help them until law enforcement arrives.
Yes, but knowing what to expect and then dealing with the ALICE Training® strategies are much different. Because each area will be making different choices, the shooter cannot predict what those under attack will do.
Law Enforcement is on their way but time is not on their side. We must learn to help ourselves before they arrive. Just as the fire department equips us with fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems, and EMS trains us in using AED for heart attacks, the law enforcement community is training us in our response options to be used before they able to arrive.
While there are no guarantees that, even with ALICE Training®, no one will be injured or killed. The program was designed by law enforcement officers who used the same techniques that helped them survive life-and-death situations. The techniques were designed to be easily conducted but also effective in mitigating casualties.
No. Confronting a violent intruder should never be required in any non law enforcement job description. How each staff member chooses to respond if directly confronted by a violent intruder is up to them.
Law enforcement officers may not be present when a shooting begins. The first law enforcement officers on the scene may arrive after the shooting has ended. Making sure individuals know how to respond helps prevent and reduce the loss of life.
The more a plan is practiced and stakeholders are trained on the plan, the more effectively they will be able to act during an emergency to lessen the impact on life. Exercises provide opportunities to practice with community partners (local emergency responders) as well as to identify gaps and weaknesses in the plan.
No, ALICE Training® is not designed to be sequential nor is it meant to be a checklist. ALICE Training is a list of options that can be used to stay safe in the event of a violent intruder. Some may choose to Evacuate and some may choose to Lockdown and barricade. Others may choose to Counter if an armed intruder is able to enter the space they are in. ALICE Training® is about options. Not every situation is the same. Alert and Inform are critical communication pieces that will aid those who have to make life saving decisions.
ALICE Training® has helped more than 18 million individuals, across multiple organizations and industries, prepare to respond with confidence in the face of violence.
