The "Counter" strategy in ALICE involves taking action to distract, disrupt, or incapacitate the attacker when escape is not possible. This could involve using objects to defend oneself or create confusion, buying time for escape or intervention.
ALICE Training is designed to be adaptable for any environment, including schools, businesses, healthcare facilities, and public spaces, to prepare individuals for an active shooter situation.
ALICE Training focuses on equipping individuals with strategies to take proactive steps in the event of an active shooter, rather than simply reacting or waiting for authorities to intervene.
The ALICE acronym stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. “Defend” is not part of the acronym.
The "Inform" step focuses on communicating with others and providing timely, accurate updates to help people make informed decisions and take appropriate action during an active shooter incident.
