It is something that we hope we never have to encounter; however, we must be prepared. It is critical for libraries to ensure that their workplaces are safe and that employees understand how to handle active shooter scenarios.
Career Law Enforcement officers and dedicated trainers Bob Thompson and Chris Moffitt will be conducting ALICE Training: Active Shooter Response at the Akron-Summit County Public Library on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 from 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm.
ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Training instructor-led classes provide preparation and a plan for individuals and organizations on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. Whether it is an attack by an individual person or by an international group of professionals intent on conveying a political message through violence, ALICE Training option-based tactics have become the accepted response, versus the traditional “lockdown only” approach.
ALICE is the leading training solution that increases an organization’s and individual’s odds of survival during a violent intruder event. ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate, is a post-Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook strategy that goes beyond the conventional lockdown.
If your staff have attended in the past a refresher is helpful, if they have never attended it is a must.
