Active Threat Training Resources Plus Lunch and Learn Sessions for the Brighton and Downtown Campuses

A friendly reminder of upcoming Active Threat training opportunities. 

In light of recent events that have occurred across our nation, the Department of Public Safety would like to make you aware of information and available resources to help keep you safe while on campus and elsewhere.

The Public Safety website (http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/pstd/) offers a number of resources to assist students, faculty and staff in the area of emergency preparedness and active threats. Please take a few minutes to view the "Lockdown Training" and "Run, Hide, Fight" videos. Both provide sound advice and practical steps to take should one of these unlikely situations occur at MCC.


Specific actions in the event of a Campus Lockdown:

• Leave threat area. Go to a safe location as far away from the danger as possible.

• Seek shelter in the nearest room where you are out of sight. Encourage others to seek shelter as well.

• If you are in a room, close and lock the door. Barricade the door if possible. Turn off the room lights, silence your cell phone, and stay away from doors and windows.

• Do NOT leave the room until directed by MCC Public Safety or Law Enforcement, unless it is no longer safe to remain in the room.

• Monitor emergency communications from MCC Public Safety via MCC Alert (text/e-mail), MCC Guardian, campus loudspeakers, and the College's website for additional information and instructions.


The Public Safety team is also pleased to offer "lunch and learn" sessions designed to provide the campus community with additional information regarding emergency preparedness, public safety training, and a Q&A session for any concerns which you may have. We invite you to attend one of two sessions currently scheduled as follows:

- Monday December 9 from 12 noon to 1pm in room 352 of the Downtown Campus

- Friday December 13 from 12 noon to 1pm in the Forum Room, 3-130, of the Brighton Campus

We look forward to seeing you there. However, if you cannot attend, please do not hesitate to contact me at extension 2926 or via e-mail at cdisalvo@monroecc.edu if you have any questions or concerns regarding the College's response to critical incidents.
