Dangerous Intruder

A dangerous intruder is defined as someone who is on campus, inside or outside, and who poses an immediate, deadly threat to an individual or individuals on campus. In the event there is a dangerous intruder on campus, notification will be made to the Crisis Management Team. Efforts to communicate this information to employees and students include Hound Alerts, Alertus, email, and phone. In the event of a dangerous intruder, the following steps should be taken:

  • Implement the ALiCE protocol immediately

    • Alert (pay attention to signs of trouble)

    • Lockdown (barricade, turn off lights, lock doors)

    • Inform (give police what information you can)

    • Counter (as a last resort, try to incapacitate the shooter)

    • Escape (always get out if you can, leave belongings)

  • Immediately call 911

  • Call Security as soon as possible

  • Silence cell phones but watch for Hound Alerts

If a person has information regarding a dangerous intruder and can safely make a call, they should contact 911 immediately.

If the intruder is inside the office or classroom, and it is not possible to send someone for help, the incident should be considered a hostage situation. Those involved in this situation should not close doors or windows unless the intruder instructs them to do so (refer to hostage situation policy).
