Hostile Intruder Inside a Building
Remain calm, do not engage the intruder. If safely possible, try to escape the area quickly and
quietly. If attempting to escape, do not carry cell phones or
objects in your hands. As you move through open areas, keep your hands elevated with open palms visible, especially if encountering responding law enforcement officers. Follow all the instructions officers may give you.
If you cannot safely exit the building, seek shelter in a room where the doors can be locked or barricaded securely.
Close and lock windows, lower blinds, remain out of sight and turn off lights.
![Page 27: A Lesson in Public Safety. Major C. Scott Coverstone – James Madison University Police Department Sgt. Peggy Campbell – James Madison University Police.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5516ba7f550346a25b8b5e14/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hostile Intruder Inside a Building
Once secured inside, take cover behind concrete walls, thick desks, filing cabinets, away from windows and doors.
Remain quiet, turn off cell phone ringers. Only one person from the room call Police and tell
then where the intruder is and the condition of others with you. Follow their instructions. If you cannot speak, leave the line open so the dispatcher can hear what is going on.
Assist others if they are injured. Do not respond to any unfamiliar voice commands
until you can be sure that they are coming from a police officer.
Do not open the door until you can be positive that it is a police officer or a recognized public safety official coming to help you.

Hostile Intruder on Campus Grounds
Run away from the threat if you can. Do not run in a straight line. Keep obstacles between you and the intruder to
block the view of the intruder while you are running.
If you decide to hide, chose solid objects, can you be found there and is it a good spot to remain hidden.
If you are caught in the open and others around you have been injured, you may choose to play injured/dead.
Obey all commends from the police
