Active Shooter/Violent Intruder Training
MIT has adopted a combination of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s “Run. Hide. Fight.” program and the ALICE program for responding to an encounter with a violent intruder or active shooter. There are multiple options for obtaining training in active shooter / violent intruder response for MIT community members:
- MIT Police offers a comprehensive, in-person, practical training for active shooter response based on the ALICE model. Please contact Mary Harrington at maryh@mit.edu in MIT Police to schedule a session for your DLCI.
- Basic active shooter training is included in the Emergency Preparedness online training in The Learning Center through MIT Atlas. To access the course, find The Learning Center in Atlas and go to the “Community Safety” category.
- MIT Emergency Management also offers a live, in-person or Zoom-based Emergency Preparedness training that can be customized to your DLCI’s needs and risks. This training includes basic active shooter training and is conducted in conjunction with the development of an Emergency Preparedness Plan and Continuity Plan. Please contact em-staff@mit.edu to request planning and training assistance.
