RE: A.L.I.C.E. Options Based School Emergency Protocols for Hostile/Armed
Intruder
DATE: November 17th, 2016
What is A.L.I.C.E.?
A.L.I.C.E. is the acronym for ALERT-LOCKDOWN-INFORM-COUNTER-EVACUATE, an
options based school emergency response protocol for hostile and/or armed intruders
on campus. This protocol allows school personnel to act independently and use their
professional judgment to best protect their students in an active-shooter/armed
intruder incident. A.L.I.CE. de-centralizes decision making, eliminates code-words and
empowers teachers to make decisions immediately for their students safety.
Cass Clay Unified School Response has started the process to implement options based
protocols for hostile/armed intruder incidents by the fall of 2017. The Maple Valley
Public Schools is in the unique position to be among the first Cass-Clay districts to
implement A.L.I.C.E.
How would Maple Valley Public Schools implement A.L.I.C.E. this academic
year?
The first step is informing key stakeholder groups: school board members, school
administration, faculty, parents and students. This meeting tonight is a step toward
A.L.I.C.E. implementation.
We have three A.L.I.C.E. trained staff me, Mrs. Kaspari and Mrs. Moen. We attended a
2-day train-the-trainer course in Fargo in July, attended by 50 personnel from regional
4|Page
law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, school districts, hospitals and other private
businesses.
Implementation will require some initial in-house training of school staff and faculty
approximately 2 hours. Student training will be age/maturity appropriate, and will take
approximately one classroom period about 45 minutes. The A.L.I.C.E. content will be
taught by classroom teachers with assistance from me, Mrs. Kaspari and Mrs. Moen.
After the initial training is complete, we will implement A.L.I.C.E. concepts into
emergency drills to familiarize everyone with the protocols.
What, specifically, will change with A.L.I.C.E. from our traditional lockdown
protocols?
Our current lockdown options are three:
o Lockdown Continue Instruction: lock doors, continue with class instruction;
keep students in the classroom until all-clear; also known as a soft lockdown
o Lockdown Outside Threat: lock doors, make students and staff invisible from
outside the building, take appropriate cover in classrooms
o Lockdown Inside Threat: lock doors, make students and staff invisible from
inside building hallways, take appropriate cover in classrooms
Current lockdown protocols prioritize accountability over survivability, and rely on a
sit and wait mindset
A.L.I.C.E. offers us several advantages
o Initial ALERT is plain language, no code words!
o LOCKDOWN is similar, but only at first we will train on ENHANCED
LOCKDOWN tactics to barricade in a classroom if immediate evacuation is not
safe
o Building Emergency Response Team members (BERT) INFORM all personnel
and students in real-time what is happening, throughout the incident, via
whatever communication method is available (PA, radios, emails, social media,
etc)
o Students and teachers who are unable to evacuate safely may conduct an
ENHANCED LOCKDOWN and prepare to COUNTER if the barricade is breached,
or COUNTER if an armed intruder is immediately present; COUNTER tactics
disrupt an attackers plan by creating noise, movement, distance and direct
disruption rather than remaining still and presenting an easy target
o EVACUATE is always the preferred option if it can safely happen; teachers and
students will discuss options for alternate evacuation routes, rally-points and
evacuation sites

Wont this training scare our kids, faculty and parents?
We have been drilling for fires and tornadoes for decades its routine.
School building injuries and deaths due to fire and weather incidents are extremely rare.
In fact, school injuries and deaths due to school violence are also extremely rare
school is a safer place for kids than in their own homes.
We are merely adapting to the world we now live in, and empowering students, staff
and faculty with the tools to regain control and increase survivability. Empowerment
does not feed fear it eliminates fear and builds confidence.
Training and drills will be conducted with sensitivity to maturity, age and context. All
drills will be announced as drills to alleviate anxiety, and will be conducted with calm
professionalism. We will be alert to any unusual anxiety and will provide debriefs to all
school occupants following these drills, as well as communication with parents.

Active Shooter / armed Intruder A.L.I.C.E. enhanced lockdown and
evacuation
An active shooter or armed intruder on school property involves one or more individuals intent
on causing physical harm and/or death to students and staff. Such intruders may also possess a
gun, a knife, a bomb or other harmful device. An Active Shooter or armed intruder will result in
massive law enforcement and emergency services response to the scene as quickly as possible.
Once law enforcement arrives, it is critical to follow the instructions of, and cooperate with, law
enforcement officers. The School Incident Commander will be relieved by a law enforcement
official as soon as possible. The law enforcement official will now be the Incident Commander
with complete jurisdiction over the scene. The school is a crime scene and will require a thorough
search and processing.
Maple Valley Public Schools, recognizing its responsibility to provide the best standard of care
for school safety, will utilize the A.L.I.C.E. Enhanced Lockdown and Evacuation process (Alert-
Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Escape) to protect the lives of students, school personnel and visitors,
and increase the survivability of an active shooter incident.
I. RESPONSIBILITIES
Secure the administration office as a command post and retrieve the critical
information and data about the schools emergency systems, including
8|Page
communications, staff and students locations, detailed floor plans and other
important information, documents, items, and supplies that are prepared and
readily available for use during the incident. If the incident is occurring at the
administration office, designate an alternate command post.
Direct command post staff to maintain contact with teachers reporting pertinent
emergency information via PA systems, cell/text messaging, email and the
district website. All information received via eye-witnesses or through the in-
house surveillance camera system will used to INFORM the building occupants
of the event in as real-time as possible.
Staff and students outside the building will EVACUATE to an off-site relocation
center/Rally Point
Direct support staff outside to stop pedestrians and vehicles from entering the
school grounds until law enforcement arrives, if possible and safe to do so.
Ensure that any buses en-route to the school are redirected to a designated
relocation site.
If in close proximity to the danger, assess the situation for the best survival
option. EVACUATE if at all possible. If not, gather assistance and engage in
conducting an ENHANCED LOCKDOWN barricade of the area. If the active
shooter or armed intruder has made contact, immediately begin COUNTER
strategies, and then EVACUATE or take control of the intruder.
Individuals who are not in the immediate danger area should gather information
about their classrooms immediate situation. Account for all students or other
individuals sheltered in their room.
9|Page
Rooms in Enhanced LOCKDOWN shall pay attention to all announcements
providing event details. If the circumstances change and EVACUATE becomes a
viable option, a decision can be made to leave the location and EVACUATE to the
RALLY POINT or EVACUATION SITE.
If an active shooter or armed intruder enters and begins shooting, any and all
actions to stop the shooter are justified. This includes, making noise, moving
about the room to lessen accuracy, throwing items (books, computers, phones,
book bags) to interfere with the ability to shoot accurately, safely exiting out
windows, and taking control of the intruder. Anyone not involved in COUNTER
strategies should get out any way possible and move to another location.
If staff or students are injured, assist them out of the building to the nearest
emergency medical personnel.
The School Incident Commander will notify officials at the relocation site of
the EVACUATION and to activate FAMILY REUNIFICATION protocols.
The School Incident Commander will activate the communications plan to deal
with media and parent notification protocols, and direct parents to go to the
relocation site.
10 | P a g e
The School Incident Commander will activate the School Crisis Team and notify
area schools and mental health agencies to request counseling and mental
health services at the relocation site.

A.L.I.C.E. Response by Schools Takeaways for Patrol Deputies, Officers
and Other Responders
School staff and students will no longer be limited to barricading and waiting until
your arrival
o If its safe to evacuate, they will do so without waiting for permission
o If its NOT safe to evacuate, they will do an enhanced barricade and prepare to
counter if their space is breached by an assailant
Staff and students will be trained how to interact with armed responders
o They are instructed to follow your instructions promptly
o No physical contact or aggressive moves toward responders
o Will not pick up any weapons
o Instructed how to secure a weapon if they counter and regain control of an
assailant
o They are trained to share information with you as needed
A.L.I.C.E. prioritizes SURVIVAL over ACCOUNTABILITY
o Past practices dictated keeping all the ducklings together and accounted for at
all times
o We now focus on survival by any means possible, including scattering while
evacuating/escaping
700+ kids self-evacuated from Columbine; all were accounted for within
hours
Counter tactics include the use of whatever force is necessary to preserve life-safety
o Your students and/or staff may be actively restraining an assailant when you get
there
Decision making is no longer centralized to an incident commander (principal,
SRO/SRD, etc)
o Every occupant of the building has the authority to act and make decisions to
increase their survivability
o No code words plain speak is used to inform
o Anyone can call a lockdown
Upon your arrival, the scene may actually look and be MORE chaotic than you
expected, because of A.L.I.C.E. be prepared for that
o You may see people running several different directions and actively evacuating
from the building
o This can complicate your response and ability to locate the shooter/attacker
o Watch the hands; dont move too fast; ask where is the shooter/attacker?
o Be alert for the shooter/attacker making escape with evacuees
