    LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES
     
    One means of securing the college is to implement lockdown procedures.
    These procedures may be called for in the following instances:
     
    1)
     
    Lockdown with warning
    – The threat is outside of the college building.
    The college may have been notified of a potential threat outside of the building.
     
    2)
     
    Lockdown with intruder
    – The threat/intruder is inside the building.
     
    Lockdown with warning procedures
     
     
    •
     
    Building administrator will order and announce “lockdown with warning”
    procedures. Repeat announcement several times. Be direct. Code words lead
    to confusion.
    •
     
    Bring people inside.
    •
     
    Lock exterior doors.
    •
     
    Clear hallways, restrooms and other rooms that cannot be secured.
    •
     
    Pull shades. Keep students away from windows.
    •
     
    Control all movement, but continue classes. Move on announcement only.
    •
     
    Building administrator will announce “all clear.”
     
    Lockdown with intruder procedures (these actions happen rapidly)
     
    •
     
    Building administrator will order and announce “lockdown with intruder.”
    Repeat announcement several times. Be direct. Code words lead to confusion.
    •
     
    Immediately direct all students, staff and visitors into nearest classroom or
    secured space. Classes that are outside of the building SHOULD NOT enter
    the building. Move outside classes to primary evacuation site.
    •
     
    Lock classroom doors.
    •
     
    DO NOT lock exterior doors.
    •
     
    Move people away from windows and doors. Turn off lights.
    •
     
    DO NOT respond to anyone at the door until “all clear” is announced.
    •
     
    Keep out of sight.
    •
     
    Building administrator will announce “all clear.”
     
     
    Some other threats may override lockdown, i.e., confirmed fire, intruder in
    classroom, etc. Consider making an action plan for people in large common
    areas, i.e. cafeteria, gymnasium.
     
    Lockdown may be initiated in non-threatening circumstances to keep people away
    from areas where there may be a medical emergency or disturbance.
