Active Shooter Response

  *      If a person is seen on College property with a gun or is actively firing a weapon, the following action plan is recommended:
  *      If possible, lock yourself in the room you are in.
  *      If communication is available, call the Department of Public Safety:
             *   Franklin Campus and Workforce Center, (757) 641-9214
             *   Suffolk Campus and Center at Smithfield, (757) 641-8039 
  *      If needed, call 911.
  *      Don't stay in the open hallway.
  *      Do not sound the fire alarm. A fire alarm would signal the occupants in the other rooms to evacuate the building and, thus, place them in potential harm as they attempt to exit.
  *      Barricade yourself in a room with furniture or anything you can push up against the door.
  *      Protect yourself with any available barriers, such as concrete walls, desks or tables.
  *      Lock windows and close blinds.
  *      Stay away from windows.
  *      Turn off all lights and audio equipment.
  *      Turn cell phones and pagers to silent mode.
  *      Try to stay calm and be as quiet as possible.
  *       If for some reason you are caught in an open area such as a hallway or lounge, seek the closest available shelter.
 

Follow Instructions

  *       Always follow the instructions of law enforcement and campus security personnel. Remember, preparation and awareness are key to staying safe. Your cooperation and alertness contribute to our collective security.
