Clinton School Resource Officer Cody Mair is in Clinton district buildings this week, going over protocols in the case of an emergency.

It's called 'ALICE Training' and on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers told Regional Radio it is emergency readiness training.

According to the Chief, ALICE training has become a huge part of emergency response and readiness since the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999. He indicates it is always being updated and has shifted the way authorities respond to disasters in schools.

Officer Mair is a certified ALICE training instructor. The Chief indicates it is one of those things they hope they never have to use it but want to be prepared if they have to.
