EMERGENCY PLAN
for
INTRUDER
Intruder — an unauthorized person who enters college property:
Politely greet the intruder and identify yourself.
o Consider asking another staff person to accompany you before approaching intruder.
Inform intruder that all visitors must register at the main office.
o Ask intruder the purpose of his/her visit. If possible, attempt to identify the individual and/or vehicle.
If intruder’s purpose is not legitimate, ask him/her to leave. Accompany intruder to exit.
Notify Campus Police Department at 504-671-6112 , for non emergency.
If intruder refuses to leave:
Call 911 for local police department response.
Notify Campus Police Department at 504-671-6111 for emergency response, if intruder refuses to leave. Give law enforcement full description of the intruder.
Back away from intruder if he/she indicates a potential for violence. Allow an avenue of escape. To the extent possible, maintain visual contact.
o Be aware of intruder’s actions at this time (where he/she is located in college building, whether he/she is carrying a weapon or package, etc.).
o Maintaining visual contact and knowing the location of the intruder is less disruptive and more effective than conducting a building–wide search later.
Should the situation escalate quickly, the building administrator may decide at any
time to initiate lockdown procedures.
Note: To assist staff members who interact with a stranger at college, use the “I CAN” rule.
