Detective Chris Frazier

2. A.L.i.C.E TRAINING
The A.L.i.C.E. training program is an options based program.
When a threat is present, Educational facilities have historically trained to simply lockdown the building and hope for the best.
We believe survival is best! Having options, for your response, is key to survival.

3. The A. L. i. C. E. Plan
ALERT: Get the word out! Concise / Clear language, location, type of event.
LOCKDOWN: Only one of several options. Possibly, the best option, depending on the circumstances.
iNFORM: Communication keeps the shooter off balance. Allows for good decision making.

4. The A. L. i. C. E. Plan
COUNTER: Applying skills to distract, confuse, and gain control over killer.
EVACUATE: Reduces the number of potential targets for the shooter, and reduces the chances of friendly fire upon the arrival of emergency responders.

5. A.L.i.C.E TRAINING
In recent years, armed suspects entering buildings, whether schools, corporations or churches, have been referred to as “Active Shooters”.
A.L.i.C.E Training helps you begin to understand that an armed suspect inside your specific building is an “Active Killer”.
When someone enters your building armed, they are there to inflict maximum carnage.
Understanding this basic concept is key to understanding how to survive this most critical, life threatening, incident.

10. FBI Analysis of 110 Active Shooter Incidents
(2000 – 2012)

11. FBI Analysis of active killer incidents occurring in Educational facilities, in the United States, from , reached: 52
From there were 7 active killer incidents in the United States.

12. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
As a staff member, you have a responsibility to change your mindset from thinking police will be the first responders to the scene.
YOU ARE THE FIRST RESPONDER!
How long will it take for police to respond to an active killer in your building?
National Avg. time 18 minutes.
In Anderson, approximately 3-8 minutes.

13. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
60% OF ALL ACTIVE KILLER INCIDENTS END, BEFORE POLICE ARRIVE.

14. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
Before A.L.i.C.E., how did the active killer have such an advantage over the victims?
The classic response to active killers was to initiate a lockdown procedure.
In most cases, lockdowns gave the active killer still, motionless targets to fire at.
Virginia Tech shooting: 2 active SWAT teams/ response 3 minutes. Teams were only 800 yards away from first attack
28 dead from lockdown
2 dead from evac and barricade.
The active killer always has the element of surprise.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE ACTIVE KILLER WILL WIN, HOWEVER!

15. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
For an active killer to shoot accurately, they must be able to complete a physical process:
1. Find the target
2. Put the front sight on target
3. Focus on front sight
4. Remain steady
5. Squeeze trigger
By preventing/interrupting only one of the physical steps from occurring, you stop the ability to shoot accurately. Notice you are not stopping the ability to shoot.

16. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
1. FIND THE TARGET: The easiest way to make it hard for the killer to find you, is to not be there. EVACUATE! Creating distance between you and the killer requires greater skill to hurt you.
2. FRONT SIGHT ON TARGET: If escape is not an option, MOVE, DO NOT STAY STILL!
3. FOCUS ON FRONT SIGHT: COUNTER! Distracting killer causes focus to change. Throw anything you can. (Example)

17. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING
4. REMAIN STEADY: COUNTER! Throwing objects, barricaded doors or objects to make shooting stance unstable.
5. SQUEEZE TRIGGER: COUNTER! Fight back with numbers, SWARM! (Example: KG class)

18. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING COUNTERING THE ASSAULT:
Understand you need to interrupt the thought process as well as the physical process of shooting.
This can be done at the same time.
Understand the environment you work in.
Office, classroom, computer room, auditorium, gymnasium, concrete walls, glass windows or doors.
Each location will have different supplies available that will be effective in interrupting the shooting process.

19. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING COUNTERING THE ASSAULT:
Fortifying your door (know if your door opens inward or outward).
Tie extension cords around the handle and then to something secure.
Stack desks and chairs in front of door.
Use what is available at the time the best you can. (i.e.: A leather belt around the handle of a door opening outward could give you the edge you need to survive).
Studies show, on average, active killers will only remain at a door 5-8 seconds before moving on to the next door. REMEMBER…A killer’s intent is to inflict maximum carnage!

20. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING COUNTERING THE ASSUALT:
Utilize numbers to gain control and advantage. SWARM TECHNIQUE!
The good guys always outnumber the bad guys. By motivating a small number of the attacked to become the attackers, only if necessary, we decide how the incident ends.
By utilizing numbers, you overwhelm the physical ability of the active killer to perform the task at hand. (Example)

21. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING COUNTERING THE ASSAULT:
Understand your role in the moment.
You might become the organizer of a counter assault .
You might become the leader of an evacuation.
You might become the person that organizes the lockdown to keep your area secure.
You might become the person administering first aid.
You might be the one reporting the incident.
You might be the first one to see the killer.
After notifying police, notify everyone in building.
You might be the first one to encounter the killer.
Every role is important and needs to be done!

22. A.L.I.C.E TRAINING PREPARING YOUR CLASS ROOM
At the beginning of the year, make a list of items for your students to bring in. (Ex: canned goods, cases of water, blankets, wasp and hornet spray)
Prepare a first aid kit
Prepare a survival bucket (include items that can be used if there is a long period of time you have to endure from lock down such as: toilet paper, flash lights, feminine products, scissors, first aid, orange vest, duct tape, rubber gloves).
Set up your room so that easy access can be made to windows or alternate exits. Create a room that allows the students to move quickly.
Mount permanent hooks or coat rack next to door to use as tie off for door handle.
Depending on school policy, make a device that can easily be placed across the door to secure it from opening. (Only recommend this if you have alternate exit).

23. A.L.i.C.E. TRAINING WHAT TO EXPECT FROM POLICE RESPONSE?
Officers will move directly to threat, if known. Officers will potentially bypass victims and witnesses.
Threat will be eliminated.
Depending on situation, building might be cleared, however, if additional threats are possible, you might encounter long waiting periods in your office/area.
Victims will be identified and assistance/first aid rendered.

24. A.L.i.C.E TRAINING PREPARING FOR SURVIVAL
Questions that must be answered:
Are we proactive?
Do we have a way to alert the entire building at the same time?
Do you have designated safety areas if evacuations occur?
Is someone designated as leader of evacuation site? Is someone designated as a backup leader?
Do you have first aid kits prepped with a tourniquet?
Do you practice putting on tourniquets?
Do you keep supplies on hand for long periods of lockdown?
