Interview
Dan Huffman – ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Training
ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Training instructor led classes provide preparation and a plan for individuals and organizations on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. Whether it is an attack by an individual person or by a international group of professionals intent on conveying a political message through violence, ALICE Training option based tactics have become the accepted response, versus the traditional “lockdown only” approach.

Training tip
Connect with your school – ask this question: “What is your plan and how are you preparing/training students/staff/family for a school shooting?” If they do not have a plan – take it to the school board and demand it.
Talk to your children about the plan and how to incorporate some of its aspects into your home.
