To ensure schools are prepared to proactively handle the threat of an intruder or active shooter, PSD202 utilizes ALICE.

ALICE stand for:

• Alert - Initial alert of an emergency; tell people what is going on (call 911)

• Lockdown - If evacuation is not a safe option, lock and barricade the door

• Inform - Communicate real time information on the intruder’s location. Use clear and direct language using any communication means

• Counter - As a last resort, if the intruder invades your “safe area”, distract the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately. Prepare to throw items at the shooter, if necessary

• Evacuate - When given real time information and it is safe to do so, run from the danger
