Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to participate in an ALICE active-shooter response training session, which will take place Friday, March 29, from 12:45 to 2 p.m. in Yost Hall, Room 107.
The Case Western Reserve University Police Department teaches the ALICE program to give participants insight and response options when encountering an active shooter.
The program takes a real look into an active-shooter situation and teaches students, staff and faculty what tactical advantages they have that could keep them alive if a situation might occur. The program is divided into five steps (ALICE): alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate.
Participants in this class will not learn fighting techniques. The program is designed to teach survival strategies that will save lives in the event of an active shooter situation.
Space is limited. RSVP to Sgt. Paul Owens at pjo2@case.edu.
