ALICE Training
A.L.I.C.E. (Violent Intruder Training)
The Department of Public Safety is certified to teach the A.L.I.C.E. concepts to prepare the campus community for the unimaginable. Participants in A.L.I.C.E. seminars learn about everyday people’s actions to survive a dangerous encounter with a violent intruder.
A.L.I.C.E. is a simple acronym for the following basic life-saving strategies:
Alert – Early recognition of danger is key. Use your senses and available notification systems—such as mobile alerts, emails, or intercom announcements—to respond quickly.
Lockdown – ALICE’s enhanced lockdown techniques reinforce safety by securing doors, barricading entry points, and preparing individuals for the next best course of action.
Inform – Real-time information saves lives. Sharing accurate, timely details with those in danger—such as intruder location or movement—helps guide decision-making.
Counter – As a last resort, Counter disrupts an intruder’s ability to cause harm by using movement, noise, and distractions. Counter is not synonymous with fighting—it’s about creating opportunities to escape or take control.
Evacuate – When safe, evacuation is the best option. ALICE Training® emphasizes early and quick evacuation, using any available exits to distance yourself from danger.
During A.L.I.C.E. seminars, participants are taught each concept to understand their benefits and make their own decisions in the event of a violent intruder. Participants are instructed on the value of teamwork in overcoming a potential attacker and strategies such as “Situational Awareness.”
When you participate in an A.L.I.C.E. seminar, the training can be conducted in your workspace to evaluate safety and security concerns in your work areas.
