Resources for Your Preparedness

• Request a Public Safety training for your department or group to learn important ways to be prepared for hostile intruder events, including run, hide, fight guidelines and Stop The Bleed life-saving techniques.
• Videos to watch:
  • : resources to help you stay safe on campus and in our community.
  • : learn what to do during a lockdown/shelter in place due to a hostile intruder.
  • : familiarize yourself with our three types of classroom door locks.
• Understand what to do during a campus lockdown/shelter-in-place situation.

Our Preparedness

• Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT): ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ was one of the first institutions to establish a dedicated team for monitoring and addressing reported safety concerns. BIT (previously the Threat Assessment Team) is coordinated by Public Safety to help address or prevent serious safety issues that involve our community in support of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ’s incident reporting and resolution procedures.
• Testing and Practice: At least once a year we test our Emergency Operations Plan and our Mass Notification System (Text/Call). Our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is published annually (in October) in accordance with the Clery Act. And, in support of our goal to always be prepared and ready, our department and ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ’s leaders practice the University’s emergency response on an ongoing basis with tabletop exercises.
• Local Police Support: We maintain close working relationships with the police departments of Garden City, Hempstead, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Poughkeepsie and New York City. All ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ campus locations are supported by these police services, including criminal investigation and emergency response.
