ALERT LOCKDOWN INFORM COUNTER EVACUATE

Designed in 2001 by a Dallas/Fort Worth police officer in response to the Columbine Shootings in conjunction with his elementary school principal wife. Asks the question “What are you doing while the police are responding? ” Vision is to have all citizens have the skills and knowledge of their options on how to respond to an active threat.

Most violent intruder situations last between three and seven minutes. FBI research has shown that civilians have stopped active killer events prior to police intervention.

Police Intervention 51% On-site resolution 49%

Attacker stopped themselves 67% (Suicide 60% / left scene 7%) Victims stopped attack 33% (Physically subdued attacker)

A. L. I. C. E. equips people with strategies to better prepare for life-anddeath encounters.

CALL 911 Announcing the threat immediately “Do Not” Ø Call the supervisor first Ø Let the boss make the call Ø Take time to investigate before acting

Attempt to find cover or concealment. Remain quiet. Constantly reassess your options. Develop a plan based on any known information.

Information must flow freely during these events. PA Systems/Cameras Staff should secure and use intercom or other public address methods to broadcast location of attacker and direction of travel. Those in LOCKDOWN should use this information to identify escape opportunities or prepare for confrontation.

Determine what you have as weapons of opportunity. Commit to your actions!! Inundate attacker with violence.

Public address systems are critical to providing real-time information to all persons in the attack zone. OODA Loop interruption is critical to active killer countermeasures. Alice IS NOT a continuum. Alice gives you options on how to react to an active threat.
