What is a vci in alice training?

A VCI (Victim, Complainer, Instigator) is a term used in Alice Training, a program designed to educate participants on how to respond in violent intruder situations. In the context of Alice Training, a VCI is someone who may unknowingly or intentionally put themselves or others in danger during a violent incident.

  • Victim: Someone who may freeze up or panic during a crisis, potentially hindering their ability to take action to protect themselves or others.

  • Complainer: Someone who may complain or criticize others' responses to a violent intruder situation, rather than actively participating in finding a solution or taking action to ensure safety.

  • Instigator: Someone who may inadvertently escalate a violent situation by acting aggressively or provoking the intruder, putting themselves and others at risk.

Identifying and addressing VCIs is an important aspect of Alice Training, as it helps participants understand how their own reactions and behaviors can impact the outcome of a violent intruder situation. By recognizing and addressing VCIs, individuals can better prepare themselves to respond effectively and protect themselves and others in an emergency.
