Re: Various Types of Civilian Active Assailant Response Training
The following gives a brief overview of the different types of civilian active assailant
response training. It should be noted that certain commercial curriculums require
online/hybrid learning prior to law enforcement training, and others do not. The
Sheriffs Office Training Unit Instructors and instructors throughout the agency are
trained in the variety of programs. Training curriculum is dependent upon the time
allotted by the organization requesting training, the number of students, and the
program they are using. It can vary from a one -hour presentation to 8 or more hours
of instruction, usually dependent on scenarios.
• ALICE
ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. It's not
designed to be sequential but rather to be utilized dynamically in each unique
situation. ALICE training addresses each component in detail. The ALICE
Training Institute provides comprehensive, hands-on instruction on these
components as well as access to tools and resources to aid in implementing and
maintaining ALICE procedures.
Alert
Use plain and specific language to alert others to the danger. The purpose of
the Alert is to make as many people as possible within the danger zone aware
that a potentially life -threatening situation exists. This can be facilitated via
many different methods (PA, text, email, personal senses). No matter the
method of delivery, the objective should be a conveyance of information, not
an issuance of a command. The use of plain language, delivered through as
1201 N TELEGRAPH RD PONTIAC MI 48341-1044 248/858-5000
many delivery channels as possible, is the best way to ensure awareness within
the danger zone. It will empower as many as possible with the ability to make
an informed decision as to their best option that will maximize survival
chances. ALICE, along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), recommends plain and
specific language. ALICE Training discusses methods for clearly conveying
warnings and the ways various communication technologies can facilitate those
messages.
Lockdown
Barricade the room. Prepare to Evacuate or Counter if needed. Lockdown is an
important response in the event of an active shooter or violent intruder, but
there has to be a semi -secure starting point from which survival decisions can
be made. The ALICE training program explains scenarios where Lockdown is
the preferable option and dispels myths about traditional Lockdown procedures.
Relying on lockdown alone will significantly endanger occupants in a violent
intruder situation. Traditional lockdown creates readily identifiable targets and
makes a shooter's mission easier, whether that is a hospital, a school, a church,
or a business. ALICE trainers instruct on practical techniques for how to better
barricade a room, what to do with mobile and electronic devices, how and
when to communicate with police, and how to use your time in lockdown to
prepare to use other strategies (i.e. Counter or Evacuate) that might come into
play should the active shooter gain entry.
Inform
Communicate the violent intruder's location and direction in real time. Inform
is a continuation of Alert and uses any means necessary to pass on real-time
information. Video surveillance, 911 calls and PA announcements are just a
few of the channels that may be used by school employees, safety officers and
other personnel. An emergency response plan should have clear methods
outlined for informing school employees, hospital workers or any other
employees of whereabouts of a violent intruder. No one wants to have to
deploy such methods, but in the horrible event that an armed intruder would
enter a facility, emergency preparedness training could take over. Information
should always be clear and direct and, as much as possible, communicate the
whereabouts of the intruder. Effective information can keep the shooter off
balance, giving people in the school more time to further lockdown, or
evacuate to safety. Active shooters work alone 98 percent of the time. If the
shooter is known to be in an isolated section of a building, occupants in other
areas can safely evacuate while those in direct danger can perform enhanced
lockdown and prepare to counter. Knowledge is the key to survival.
Counter
Create noise, movement, distance, and distraction with the intent of reducing
the shooter's ability to shoot accurately. Counter is NOT fighting. ALICE
Training does not believe that actively confronting a violent intruder is the best
method for ensuring the safety of all involved, whether in a school, a hospital,
a business or a church. Creating a dynamic environment decreases the
shooter's chance of hitting 'a target and can provide the precious seconds
needed in order to evacuate. ALICE does not endorse civilians fighting an
1201 N TELEGRAPH RD PONTIAC MI 48341-1044 248/858-5000
active shooter, but when confronted directly in a life -and -death situation,
individuals should use any actions necessary to defend themselves. Counter is
a last-ditch and worst -case scenario option. In the horrible event that an active
shooter makes his or her way into a school, hospital, church or business, there
are steps that can be taken as an effort to survive an attack. With workplace
violence as a rising trend across the United States, this method is not limited to
preventing a school shooting. The ALICE Training Program provides
examples for real, effective ways to counter an active shooter, when there is no
other option left. Counter is about survival, the last barrier between a shooter
and a potential victim, and anything a person can to do gain control is
acceptable. It's the opposite of being a sitting duck, and every action taken is a
step towards survival.
Evacuate
When safe to do so, remove yourself from the danger zone. Our human instinct
in the face of danger is to remove ourselves from that threat. ALICE training
provides techniques for safer and more strategic evacuations. An active shooter
in a building presents a situation like no other. Evacuating to a safe area takes
people out of harm's way and hopefully prevents civilians from having to
come into any contact with the shooter. By evacuating, citizens can avoid
having to employ the techniques learned in ALICE training for how best to
Counter an active shooter. Did you know that you should break a window from
the top corner as opposed to the center? Many useful techniques that civilians
do not know exist and can save your life. ALICE trainers teach strategies for
evacuating through windows, from higher floors and under extreme duress.
ALICE trainers also give instructions on what to do at rally points, including
communicating with law enforcement and administering first aid. Evacuation
is the number one goal. Hopefully, evacuating a school, workplace, or church
is always an option in the event of an active shooter.
The ALICE Training Program provides lessons and information for all facets
of a violent intruder gaining access to a building. Safety is our primary focus
for this program, and we do not endorse risking lives of students or employees
• AVERT
With AVERT — Active Violence Emergency Response Training - you'll learn
how to recognize the signs of danger, react appropriately, and make rapid
survival decisions. AVERT goes beyond active shooter response training by
also teaching how to control life -threatening bleeding.
AVERT gives you the tools to react in an emergency When violence occurs,
seconds count, and you can't always wait for EMS to arrive. AVERT enables
you to become an immediate'responder by giving you the tools to prepare for
potential violence and react quickly in life -threatening situations. After an
AVERT training session, you and your team will be able to:
o Recognize warning signs using situational awareness
o Decide whether to Escape, Evade or Attack
o Apply critical bleeding control techniques
o Respond quickly and confidently in an emergency
o Develop an Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
1201 N TELEGRAPH RD PONTIAC MI 48341-1044 248/858-5000
• ALERRT
Law enforcement officers and agencies are frequently requested by schools,
businesses, and community members for direction and presentations on what
they should do if confronted with an active shooter event. The Civilian
Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course, designed and built on the
Avoid, Deny Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides
strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event.
Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian
response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.
AVOID starts with your state of mind
o Pay attention to your surroundings.
o Have an exit plan.
o Move away from the source of the threat as quickly as possible.
o The more distance and barriers between you and the threat, the better.
DENY when getting away is difficult or maybe impossible
o Keep distance between you and the source.
o Create barriers to prevent or slow down a threat from getting to you.
o Turn the lights off.
o Remain out of sight and quiet by hiding behind large objects and
silence your phone.
DEFEND because you have the right to protect yourself
o If you cannot Avoid or Deny be prepared to defend yourself.
o Be aggressive and committed to your actions.
o Do not fight fairly.
o THIS IS ABOUT SURVIVAL.
• Run/Hide/Fieht
RUN
Getting away from the shooter or shooters is the top priority. Leave your things behind
and run away. If safe to do so, warn others nearby. Call 911 when you are safe.
Describe each shooter, their locations, and weapons.
HIDE
If you cannot get away safely, find a place to hide. Get out of the shooter's view and
stay very quiet. Silence your electronic devices and make sure they won't vibrate.
Lock and block doors, close blinds, and turn off the lights. Do not hide in groups —
spread out along walls or hide separately to make it more difficult for the shooter. Try
to communicate with police silently— such as through text messages or by putting a
sign in an exterior window. Stay in place until law enforcement gives you notice that
all immediate danger is clear.
FIGHT
Your last resort when you are in immediate danger is to defend yourself. Commit to
your actions and act aggressively to stop the shooter. Ambushing the shooter together
with makeshift weapons such, as chairs, fire extinguishers, scissors, and books can
distract and disarm the shooter.

The dangers of an active shooter incident or other type of attack are a reality
every community needs to be prepared for. The NFPA 30000, Active
Shooter/Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program helps provide the guidance
and framework to build a unified plan to reduce risks and minimize injuries
and loss of life in such incidents.
Regardless of the program used, the number one message is the priority of the
presentation of human life during the gap time that it takes for law enforcement to
respond.
