Organizational Training

"I spent the past two days in a training workshop for active shooter preparedness through ALICE Training. It is sad that we have become a society where this training is necessary, but it's incredibly important to be prepared. There have been lessons learned through tragedies such as Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Virginia Tech that have [...]

"I feel much more confident about handling a shooter with a class full of small children than before I went to this training. Thank you!"

"Just went through ALICE training this week. It was AMAZING. One of the best trainings I have been in."

"It was very intense training. Easily in the top 10 of some of the best training I’ve ever been exposed to."

"This was truly an eye opening experience that I cannot wait to share with my school district."

"I appreciated the background information that clearly demonstrated the need for a range of options in responding to the presence of an armed intruder. That process, cemented by the scenarios and the comparisons of scenario outcomes, demonstrated the logic of the ALICE approach."

"ALICE training provided a very pragmatic plan for dealing with such situations, especially for those with no prior training. The scenarios and drills really drove home the usefulness of what was being presented."

"My teachers have completely changed their mind set and we’ve discussed and worked on it each week.  In fact, we had an armed robbery last week at a Quick Trip, while I had 40 kids eating pizza with the Principal.  When they called me they had locked the school down and brought the kids in.  [...]

"When I first heard that I was being sent to ALICE by my director, I'll admit that I wasn't too excited. Then, when I met our instructor Sean, I knew I was in the right place.  When he began talking about Boyd's OODA Loop and the use of diversionary tactics and creation of distance, I [...]

"I liked  that the scenarios showed you real life situations. I liked the simple way it explained and demonstrated why, what, and how to do things. It was very user friendly in the way it explains that you don't have to do certain thing and you do have choices."

"I believe this was the most effective training Region 8 ESC has ever offered.  The ALICE training changed mindsets & philosophies of grown adults and we all know how difficult that is."

"I’m in favor of this type of training. We need as much training as possible so we can make quick, intelligent decisions instead of panicking. Even with all that training, you just don’t know what will happen. You can’t always predict what is going to happen, but you should certainly be prepared for any situation."

"Great philosophy, practical to apply. ALICE system makes sense and will work."

"I am a better and more prepared leader as a result of this training."

"I came away with good teaching materials, a great training program."
