Rend Lake College will be offering a training program designed to prepare school or business professionals on how to proactively handle an attack or intruder.

Two, four and eight hour training courses will be offered and taught by three RLC ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) certified instructors with a combined 60 years of law enforcement experience.

Trainings can take place on RLC’s campus, or can be scheduled off-campus at schools or businesses to focus on specific building layouts. The trainings can also be broken down into shorter pieces to accommodate any time restraint.

In the coming months, RLC will host Active Shooter Trainings at two local schools – Woodlawn High School and Opdyke Grade School – and two businesses, one at the RLC MarketPlace in Mt. Vernon and another in Sullivan, Illinois.

For more information, to schedule a training or to inquire about training costs, contact Margo Wagner, Director of Community and Corporate Education, at 618-437-5321, Ext. 1367 or wagnerm@rlc.edu.
