Active Shooter Training
Los Altos United Methodist Church will be hosting an ALICE Training event - open to any one who would like to attend!
Los Altos United Methodist Church and the ALICE Training Institute have teamed up to bring ALICE Instructor Training to Long Beach at Los Altos United Methodist Church, 5950 E. Willow St., Long Beach, CA 90815 on August 15 and 16, 2016. This two day instructor course is designed to teach proactive survival strategies for violent intruder or active shooter incidents. The goal of the ALICE program is to provide individuals with survival-enhancing options for those critical moments in the gap between when a violent situation begins and when law enforcement arrives on scene. The registration fee for this training is $595 per person and can be completed online at www.alicetraining.com.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate and is a useful strategy for everyone: law enforcement, schools, universities, hospitals, businesses, and places of worship. Completing the ALICE Instructor Training course provides individuals with certification in ALICE Training and allows them the opportunity to bring ALICE strategies back to their places of work. Additionally, registrants will gain access to exclusive ALICE resources.
ALICE is in line with recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

LAUMC is a community learning how to welcome all people, by trusting God’s love and following the gracious way of Jesus. We are committed to the well-being, joy and health of our community. We seek to be a transforming presence in the life of our neighbors. Through joyful worship, opportunities to grow in understanding and spiritual depth and compassionate service with our neighbor, we treasure life and strengthen the heart for love.
Church can happen anywhere. It happens when we create learning opportunities that transform lives. It happens when we create safe environments where children can play and learn. It happens when education makes the path to citizenship a little easier. And when our sacrifices help nourish students’ minds and bodies. That’s putting beliefs into action.
In light of recent mass shootings, such as Orlando night club Pulse, we especially feel it is important to train ourselves on how to handle such a situation, because you never know when the need might arise.
