3 I. SECURITY PLAN POLICIES & AND PROCEDURES Event Levels Event levels serve as a guideline for event organizers and scheduler/advisors when planning an event. Event levels are subject to change as an event progresses through the planning timeline.

4 Event Types Event Types provide a descriptive label for events reviewed by EMC without being prescriptive about the event services or security staffing required. Event Types can be assigned a default Event Level, but after being reviewed by the committee may be raised or lowered to a different event level, depending on the logistics of the event. This flexible system allows for event types to reflect the program specifications without requiring a prohibitive amount of event staffing, and still maintain the proper levels of staffing and event security to ensure a successful, safe event. Event Types/Levels Level 1 (a/b) Level 1(-A/-B) Level 2(+) Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Party Off Campus Trip Large-scale Outdoor Event Showcase/Dance Competition (External) Showcase/Dance Competition (Student) General Body Meeting Large Concert/Performer Large-scale Indoor Event Event with minors present Small Concerts/Performers (External) Small Concert/Performer (Student) Block Booking Fashion Show Play Lobby Table Pageant Ceremony Info Session/Fair Training Workshop Blood Drive Social Coming Out Show Food Show/Event Fundraising Event Festival Celebration Rally Walk Vigil Game Banquet Tournament Practice Rehearsal Audition 3

5 Security Services for Events at Stony Brook University Student Clubs and Organizations which are recognized and registered by the Department of Student Engagement & Activities will provide security services for major events, banquets, talent shows, concerts, parties, and other public assemblies to ensure the safety and well-being of every student and their guests at Stony Brook University. All events at Stony Brook University are held to provide a social outlet for Stony Brook students, and should never make a student feel unsafe or endangered. The security services will consist of the following: University Police Department (UPD) The University Police will be on site at events to maintain security for all students and respond to any individual who requires assistance. The University Police, as members of our campus community, provide friendly and consistent service while maintaining order and protecting the student body. University Police will attend a pre-event meeting to review event logistics. University Police has the authority to shut down an event if they deem it has become unsafe. University Police will monitor the entrance(s) to the venue to deter violations of University policy and provide a feeling of security to patrons. University Police will also monitor the interior and exterior areas around the building. University Police will identify, and refuse admission to, any students who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and confiscate any weapons, drugs, or alcohol brought to any event. If necessary, University Police will make arrests, and will refer any patrons who violate University policy to Student Affairs for disciplinary action. University Police will assist with clearing of the venue after an event, or during an emergency evacuation. University Police will monitor and clear the Student Activities Center Bus Loop, receiving area, and other areas, of any unauthorized or illegally parked vehicles throughout the event. Squad officers will patrol the parking lots and roadways of the venue as availability permits and as directed by shift supervisors. Shift supervisor will determine if the event requires UPD to clear the Engineering Drive parking lot for performer & staff parking. To provide a safe and comfortable environment for all students, University Police will establish a minimum light setting in the venue, and will communicate to Facility Managers if exterior lighting is out of order. University Police is the only authorized agency to make changes to an existing security plan of Level 1 events within a week of the event. In general, University Police uses its Community Relations Team (CRT) to secure student events free-of-charge as a service to the community. When staffing levels are short, or the volume of events exceeds UPD s ability to cover, event organizers will need to refer to the Security Cost Estimates tables (pg. ) when determining costs. Event organizers are advised to plan on covering 100% of all UPD staffing charges. UPD will send a final invoice after the event for the actual charges based on CRT availability. SPECIAL CONSIDERIATONS: Officers on over-time generally arrive 1 hour prior to doors opening and stay until ½ hour after doors close Special events held elsewhere on campus or circumstances may further reduce CRT availability Additional services may be necessary based upon a performer s specific contract requirements Security Officers The student clubs and organizations pay for all security service fees related to their event. Security Officers are hired in order to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all students, the Department of Student Engagement & Activities sets forth policies and procedures in order to help University students and organizations plan and implement events on campus. Higher risk events, as determined by the Events Management Committee (EMC), are required to provide professionally licensed security services. Contracted Security Services (CSS) is used in all other campus venues. Campus Building Managers, UPD, and Student Life are the only authorized staff to contact security vendors. 4

Female security officers conduct searches of female students. If illegal or dangerous items are discovered, the University Police must be contacted. 3. Assist in managing the line outside of the event, and monitor entrance procedures, to make sure that patrons enter the venue safely and without incident. Security officers will verify that all patrons in line already have a valid ticket. ALL SECURITY SERVICES ARE REQUIRED TO BE SECURED IN WRITING CSS SECURITY STONY BROOK STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES CSS Security, Inc. is a security corporation that provides additional security at parties at Stony Brook paid for by the student organizations. CSS Supervisor will attend pre-event meetings to review logistics of the event each night.
