The Oldham County Police Department and the ALICE Training® Institute have joined forces to bring active shooter response training to Oldham County this summer.
The two-day course, held at the Arvin Education Center in La Grange July 6 and July 7, will teach its participants survival strategies and how to proactively respond during “violent critical incidents.”
“The goal of the ALICE program is to empower individuals to participate in their own survival in the gap between when a violent situation begins and when law enforcement arrives,” OCPD officials said in a press release. “[The] training is a solution of Navigate360 and is a valuable course for everyone: law enforcement, schools, universities, hospitals, businesses and places of worship. Completing the ALICE Instructor Certification course provides individuals with certification in ALICE proactive options-based responses, preparing them to take those same strategies back to their organization and community.”
Additionally, registrants will gain access to exclusive ALICE resources and ongoing support. The price of the training is $749, and registration can be completed online at:

ALICE is aligned with recommendations from the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Education, Federal Bureau of Investigation and many State government agencies.
ALICE addresses the fallacies of a one-size-fits-all response plan by explaining the truths and realities of violent critical incidents.
“The reality is that extremely tragic outcomes in these events can be mitigated and are very much survivable,” OCPD officials said in a press release. “Through training and empowerment, citizens can apply the ALICE proactive response options and improve their chances of survival in any environment where they are confronted by an active shooter or violent intruder.”
