ALICE Active Shooter Training for Law Enforcement
Proven training, developed by police for police.
In an active shooter situation, every second counts. Law enforcement officers are on the front lines, tasked with protecting lives and neutralizing threats under extreme pressure. ALICE Active Shooter Training® equips officers with proactive strategies to enhance their response to these high-stakes situations, empowering them to safeguard communities and minimize harm.
A Legacy Rooted in Law Enforcement
Founded by a former police officer, ALICE Training® is built on firsthand experience and insights into active shooter events. Its methods challenge the outdated lockdown-only approach, reflecting the realities officers encounter on the job.
Police officers across the country understand the volatile nature of active shooter incidents and the urgency of teaching civilians proactive safety tactics. Most active shooter situations end before law enforcement arrives, underscoring the critical need for comprehensive, community-based response training like ALICE.
Today, ALICE Training® remains a trusted resource for law enforcement agencies, providing evidence-based strategies that empower officers to protect their communities effectively.
The ALICE Method
The ALICE Method—Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate—is the original active shooter response training designed to equip individuals and organizations to handle violent incidents effectively.
A
Alert – Recognize the initial signs of danger and communicate the threat clearly and quickly.
L
Lockdown – Secure entry points while preparing to take additional protective measures.
I
Inform – Provide real-time information using clear, direct language to improve decision-making.
C
Counter – Use distraction and disruption techniques to reduce the assailant’s ability to cause harm.
E
Evacuate – Remove individuals from danger whenever it is safe to do so.
By incorporating these flexible, multi-option strategies, ALICE Training® ensures law enforcement officers are prepared to act decisively in dynamic, unpredictable scenarios.
