ALICE Training Modules and Components 5

Question 1

In ALICE training, what is the recommended action if a locked classroom door has a window through which the shooter can observe occupants?

Accepted Answer

Cover or obscure the window to prevent the attacker from locating occupants

Answer

Covering the door window removes visual confirmation of occupants inside, potentially causing an attacker to move on to another location.

Question 2

What is the purpose of an 'after-action review' as part of ALICE training drills?

Accepted Answer

To identify gaps and improve future responses based on what occurred

Answer

After-action reviews analyze drill performance to find weaknesses in plans, communication, and decision-making so future training can address them.

Question 3

Which aspect of the ALICE 'Evacuate' module training teaches participants to assist law enforcement after exiting the building?

Accepted Answer

Keeping hands visible, following officer commands, and sharing threat information

Answer

Upon encountering police outside, evacuees are trained to keep hands raised and provide officers with detailed information about the attacker's location and description.

Question 4

ALICE training suggests that when swarm tactics are taught as part of Counter training, the decision to act should be based on:

Accepted Answer

Whether the threat has entered the room and all other options are exhausted

Answer

Counter, including swarming, is an absolute last resort used only when the attacker is present and no other survivable option exists.

Question 5

In ALICE certification coursework, what does the term 'dynamic response' mean?

Accepted Answer

Responding to a threat using a flexible, situation-dependent set of actions rather than one fixed protocol

Answer

A dynamic response means continuously reassessing the situation and selecting the most appropriate ALICE option as conditions change during an event.
