ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate)
The Lincolnshire Police Department has certified ALICE instructors ready to meet with members of Lincolnshire organizations to teach how to proactively manage the dangers of an active shooter or aggressive intruder. The Lincolnshire Police Department provides this free training to local businesses, houses of worship, schools, non-profit organizations, and multi-residential housing facilities.
Please contact Commander Kim Covelli via email or at 847-913-2345, to schedule a free presentation. ALICE presentations include classroom instruction and interactive hands-on training allowing participants to test newly acquired skills. Presentations typically last less than two hours.
