There are emergency exit diagrams posted on the walls of each room. Instructors should make
students aware of these plans at the beginning of each semester, pointing out the exit door that
applies to that location and the proper method from which to exit the room. Supervisors in
offices are responsible for informing their employees of the exit plan for that location.
When a staff member or student becomes aware of an emergency situation, it is that person’s
responsibility to notify the Campus Police. The Campus Police will notify appropriate personnel.
When the emergency system is activated, everyone must immediately stop all activity and prepare
to leave the building.
Lights and equipment are not to be turned off.
Doors are not to be closed (unless there is a fire).
All persons should walk at a steady pace, in a single file, on each side of the hallway. Don’t
panic, but proceed immediately to the exit door designated for your location.
Classes should stay together and the faculty member in charge of the class should conduct a
check of students to determine who has evacuated the building. Supervisors are responsible for
their areas.
All persons are to move at least 200 feet away from the building.
NO ONE is to re-enter the building. If someone is missing, do not go back into the building, go
to the designated area for each building as outlined, and inform a Campus Police staff member.
All buildings will be locked by the Campus Police or Maintenance personnel to prevent re-entry
until official “all clear” signal to return.
A college official will determine when the all-clear signal to re-enter the building will be
given. ONLY when a verbal clearance is given will re-entry to the building be allowed. If your
designated area is inaccessible, proceed to the nearest accessible location.
Staff of the Alabama Criminal Justice Training Center will secure the front gates and perimeter
of the campus.
