1 ARMED INTRUDER RESPONSE/FACILITY SAFETY & SECURITY POLICY A successful safety and security program goes beyond compliance with regulatory requirements and strives to manage risk and to protect individuals served, employees and visitors. The physical environment of our organization shows evidence of ongoing attention to cleanliness/sanitation, organized equipment/supplies, safe practices, reduction of risks and an overall concern for building safety and security for all individuals serviced and personnel. The Superintendent shall develop procedures to implement this policy. This is a new policy.

2 PROCEDURES ARMED INTRUDER RESPONSE/FACILITY SAFETY& SECURITY I. A.L.I.C.E. (ARMED INTRUDER RESPONSE) In the event of an intruder, visitor, or staff become violent, communication is essential allowing decisions to be made based upon the situation as it unfolds. The following ALICE procedures shall be applied using one s personal judgment in an effort to make decisions that would maximize the potential for their own safety as well as that of our individuals and staff. These steps are not meant to be completed in sequential order, but based upon the uniqueness of each situation that ensures the safety of all individuals. If you are caught in an open or an exposed area and cannot get into a room or office, you must decide upon the most appropriate course of action. A. ALERT. Be on alert for any suspicious individuals or activity. When anyone feels threatened or has a valid suspicion of danger, alert the authorities by calling #911, providing specific address, cross street, layout of the building, location/description of the violent intruder, etc. Be prepared to provide an accurate description of the person(s). Note height, weight, gender, hair color, ethic appearance, type and color of clothing and any other characteristic of physical items that are unique to the individual(s). Report the type of weapon (if known) and direction of travel or building entered. If possible, stay on-line and provide information as the situation unfolds. B. LOCKDOWN. If staff and individuals are unable to evacuate, lock and barricade within classroom or office using whatever may be available to include doors stops, straps around door hinges, tables/cabinets/heavy desks/equipment. Black out windows and once in place, remain calm and quiet. Stay hidden until you can make contact with the emergency personnel or until you can safely evacuate the area. C. INFORM. Inform others within your building and organization, using all- call page, intercom, text, phone calls, group s, social media, etc. Provide specific information of the location and action of the shooter to allow others to make informed and sound decisions. D. COUNTER. If you are caught in the open and are in close proximity of the intruder, the best option may be to fight back. This response may be dangerous; however, it could be your best option in a life or death situation. With an armed intruder, do not attempt to negotiate and do not hesitate. Yell/scream and fight back using any/all objects to provide a distraction, defense, and to alert emergency officials of your location. As a last resort, communicate with coworkers and smarm the intruder, place weapon in trash can, and give to authorities.

3 & SECURITY PROCEDURES, PAGE 2 E. EVACUATE If you believe you can safely run and make it out of the area, then do so. Do not wait for instructions. If you decide to run, attempt to keep objects (columns, walls, trees, vehicles, trash cans, etc.) between you and the armed intruder. Evacuate through doors, windows, etc., running at an angle and reconvene at designated location. When away from the immediate area of danger, warn others and summon help. Once emergency personnel have arrived and taken over the situation, staff should obey all commands. Any statements to the news media shall be made only by the Superintendent or designee. Staff may be called upon to write proper and complete documentation of incidents, actions, reactions, and prevention measures as directed. Should a critical incident occur, the local Community Mental Health Centers and Montgomery County Work-Life Solutions may be consulted by the Director of Human Resources or designee within 24 hours of the incident to conduct a critical incident stress debriefing for staff and individuals.
