2. ALICE is NOT a linear, progressive response.
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.

3. 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.

4. 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 YouTube video from Auburn University.

5. 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.

7. 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 Emergency Response Guide will reflect this evolution.
