Active Shooter Training for Colleges & Universities
Empowering those on college campuses with life-saving, proactive training.
College campuses are vibrant, dynamic environments where students, faculty, and staff come together to learn, teach, and grow. However, they’re also open spaces, often making them uniquely vulnerable to an active shooter situation. In the face of this reality, ALICE Training® offers proactive strategies designed to equip colleges and universities with the tools and knowledge to respond confidently and effectively.
Why Colleges Need Active Shooter Response Training
The open nature of a college campus and the diversity of its population make it critical to prioritize active shooter response training.
Preparedness Saves Lives
Colleges often host thousands of students, faculty, and staff in expansive spaces. Proper training ensures they know how to act quickly and effectively during an active shooter incident.
Seamless Collaboration with Law Enforcement®
ALICE Training® fosters coordination between colleges and law enforcement, creating a unified and effective emergency response plan.
Confidence for Faculty and Staff®
Providing faculty and staff with active shooter response training builds trust and assurance, enabling them to guide students to safety during an emergency.
The ALICE Method
In the critical moments between when an active shooter situation begins and law enforcement arrive, individuals need options. ALICE Training® emphasizes a proactive, multi-option response to active shooter incidents. Unlike traditional lockdown-only methods, ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) empowers participants to make informed decisions based on the situation at hand.
A
Alert – Recognize danger and communicate the threat clearly and quickly to others.
L
Lockdown – Enhance lockdown measures by barricading doors and creating a secure environment.
I
Inform – Share real-time information to support decision-making and responses.
C
Counter – Distract, confuse, and gain control of the situation if evacuation or lockdown is not possible.
E
Evacuate – Prioritize leaving the danger zone if it is safe to do so.
