Introducing ALICE

Over the past two years, Cranbrook Schools and the Cranbrook Security Office have been working together to implement a new program that represents the latest understanding of how to react during a worst-case scenario on a school campus. It can be an uncomfortable topic, and is only the most remote possibility, but the presence of a violent intruder at a school can be a parent’s – or teacher’s – worst fear.

The new program that we have adopted is called ALICE. This program is nationally recognized as far better than the traditional “shelter-in-place only” option that is standard among the vast majority of schools today.

The entire community is encouraged to encourage to watch three short videos we have produced that explain the ALICE program, the training our faculty and staff have received so far, and the training that each and every student at Cranbrook will receive. These videos are available on our YouTube channel and in the Media Gallery on the Home Page of CranNet (for parents, teachers, and students).
