Third Reformed Church in Pella is hosting training for a program aiming to make the surrounding area better prepared in the event of an active shooter situation.

K.C. Valster with Third Church and the Pella Fire Department tells KNIA/KRLS News they are hosting ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Instructor Certification Training next month.

He says the program is for any school, church, business, or emergency personnel member who wants to learn on how to better keep people safe in those situations. The ALICE training program is designed to supplement current “Lock-down” or “Secure-in-Place” procedures used frequently in many institutions.

The two day course is on May 24th and May 25th. Cost is $595.
