ALICE Lockdown Procedures 2

Question 1

During a lockdown, what should you do if someone knocks on your locked classroom or office door claiming to be law enforcement?

Accepted Answer

Verify their identity through a window or by calling the office before opening

Answer

You should verify identity through a window or by contacting the main office before opening the door, as an attacker may impersonate law enforcement.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the ALICE concept of 'adding layers of protection' during a lockdown?

Accepted Answer

Using multiple barriers like locked doors, barricades, and distance to slow an attacker

Answer

Layering protection means combining locked doors, barricades, and maximizing distance to make entry as difficult as possible for a threat.

Question 3

If you are in a hallway when a lockdown is announced, what is the recommended ALICE action?

Accepted Answer

Move to the nearest lockable room as quickly as possible

Answer

ALICE recommends moving immediately to the nearest lockable room to get behind a barrier rather than remaining exposed in a hallway.

Question 4

During a lockdown, what is the primary reason lights in a room should be turned off?

Accepted Answer

To reduce visibility from outside the room and make it appear unoccupied

Answer

Turning off lights makes the room appear empty from the outside, reducing the likelihood that an attacker will attempt to enter.

Question 5

In ALICE training, what does 'proactive' lockdown mean compared to a traditional lockdown?

Accepted Answer

Giving occupants options and empowering them to make survival decisions based on real-time information

Answer

A proactive lockdown in ALICE empowers individuals with options and decision-making authority rather than mandating a single passive response.
