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.
