A. L. I. C. E. Active Shooter Response Training Jessica Covington Risk Manager April 4, 2016
A. L. I. C. E. Provides Options for Individuals in the Event of a Violent Attack. • Alert, notify authorities and those in harm’s way of the danger at hand. • Lockdown, or shelter in place. • Inform, give real-time updates. • Counter, defend yourself against the attacker as a last resort. • Evacuate, or get out!! ALICE is NOT a linear, progressive response.
The ALICE Training Model Includes Instructional and Hands-On Elements. • Joint effort between HCS and HPD. – HPD – 3 certified trainers – HCS – 2 certified trainers • Training began in November of 2014 and has been an ongoing effort ever since. • Training includes presentation for each element, visual aids, and live scenarios. • Trainers conduct After Action Review with school staff to illuminate strengths and areas for improvement.
HCS Prepares for a Variety of Emergencies, with Emphasis on Violent Intruder Training. • Schools are required to conduct three emergency response drills during the school year. • HCS and HPD personnel look for proper application of A. L. I. C. E. techniques during drills. • We have seen practical application of the training during real lockdowns. • For more information on A. L. I. C. E. , watch the You.

Incorporation of Rally Points in our ALICE/Lockdown drills • Each School campus has two rally points. • Each rally point has been evaluated and chosen based on the following criteria: – A distance far enough away to provide protection/distance from threat. – Accessible for buses and other means of transportation and communication needs. • Rally points have been vetted by HPD and HCS Security leadership. 5

Updating Our View on Emergency Response. • Transitioning to a holistic emergency response approach, by synchronizing our emergency drills/responses with minor variations based on the emergency itself. • Response will be based on information received. • This is a proactive approach to continuously improve our preparation to combat any threat/hazard we may encounter. • The 2016 -17 Emergency Response Guide will reflect this evolution. 7
