A lock down involves staying inside a secure location and NOT evacuating
until instructed to do so by police, security, residence life staff or
other campus officials. A lock down is called for when violence or
potential violence is a serious concern and/or where there is potential
or actual loss of life or serious personal injury.
If there is a lock down:
• Faculty and staff will immediately secure the students and
themselves in the classroom. If the door of the classroom swings out,
and cannot be locked, barricade the door with desks and other large
items found in the classroom. If possible, cover any windows or openings
that have a direct line of sight into the hallway.
• If you are not in a classroom, try to get to an office or other room
that can be locked or barricaded.
• Call police or medical services at 911. Then call the Dean on Call #
309-337-5713. Provide information on the situation, your location, the
number of occupants at your location, and occupant medical or other
critical needs.
• Do not sound the fire alarm. The alarm would signal the
occupants to evacuate the building and placing them in potential harm as
they attempted to exit.
• Lock the windows and close blinds or curtains.
• Stay away from the windows if there is present danger.
• Turn off lights and all audio and video equipment.
• Try to remain as calm and quiet as possible.
• Keep everyone together if that seems the safest decision.
• Keep classrooms and other places of refuge secure until police arrive
and give you directions.
• Stay out of open areas.
If you are unable to go to an attended or secured place and/or find
yourself in visual contact with suspect:
• Find concealment as soon as possible.
• If you cannot, lay against a wall or other physical structure that may
provide at least partial bodily security.
• Your priority is to stay safe and SURVIVE. THINK ON YOUR FEET. Make a
decision about how to respond. There is no one correct way to respond.
• Be aware of cues that indicate the level of risk has been minimized,
and promptly seek the nearest assistance or attended, secured room. |
