The photo at left was taken by a student (Chase Damiano) in Holden Hall during the Virginia Tech massacre. Holden Hall is adjacent to Norris Hall where the tragedy occured. With extreme danger next door in a connecting building, these students chose to sit in a corner in an unsecured environment. Why? Because the only response they have been taught since they started school is to sit and wait for law enforcement. That is not enough. LOCKDOWN is a tool, but it cannot be the only tool. You cannot expect just one strategy to be the safety solution to all the variables involved in these events.

ALICE Instructor Course: The purpose of this 3-day program is to certify local representatives as instructors of a researched-based, proactive approach in responding to Active Shooter/school violence. Our goal is to have staff, employees, and students taught creative, effective, and easy strategies that enhance their ability to escape the Active Shooter event if possible, and if escape is not possible, how to make themselves hard targets.

Program topic areas: • Case Studies • Policy and Procedures Survey and Review • Infra-structure Design and Classroom Layout for Safety Purposes • Proactive Use of Technology • Community Resource Assistance • Mass Evacuations • Countering Directed Violence • Use of Video for Clarification • PowerPoint Preparation • Scenario Video Clips to Drive Discussion • Trauma First Aid

The A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) program is designed to enhance current “Lockdown” procedures used frequently in our educational institutions. Tragic events in our schools have dictated the need of enhanced training be provided to staff and students to increase their chances of surviving a surprise attack by an Active Shooter.
