By definition, a CampusSecurity Authority (CSA) is essentially anyone, including a student leadership position, who by function(not title) has contact with students and significant responsibility for student and campus activities. AtConcordia University, in addition to Campus Safety staff, these are defined as: Administration(Dean, Associate Dean of Academics, Assistant Dean of Career Services and Student Affairs,Academic Success, Career Services, External Relations, Pro Bono/Experiential Learning)Faculty(Faculty Advisors, Advisors to Student Clubs and Organizations)1U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, The Handbook for Campus Safety and SecurityReporting, Washington, D.C., 2011 (p.15).4

CU Alert is an automatedcommunication system using Blackboard Connect that has the ability to simultaneously send voice, text,and email messages to students, faculty and staff to notify you in the event of a campus emergency.A CU Alert will be sent as quickly as is reasonably possible for any situation or incident that constitutesand imminent threat to life, health or safety, including any Clery act crime that is reported to CampusSafety or local law enforcement. Campus safety will be informed of the messaging, and will validate thedetails and provide any corrected or updated information.Alerts are also sent when there is a police, fire, or medical response on or nearby campus in order toclarify for the campus community the nature of the event, provide specific directions for safety, describeactive suspects or vehicles, and to alleviate any undue concern.Emergency Notification can occur independently or in coordination with the Critical Incident ManagementTeam noted below under Emergency Response Protocol. The Dean, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, ormembers of the Cabinet will devise content, approve, and send the alert. They will also determine whatsegment of the campus community will receive the message. The Director of Campus Security and thePublic Information Officer may provide context and input into the message. The Public Information Officeris responsible for crafting and disseminating campus messages, as appropriate, to the broader community5
through customary media and social media channels. Select faculty and staff receive alerts as membersof the Critical Incident Management Team.Campus Safety and any member of the Critical Incident Management Team can send an (informational)FYI or Pre-Alert Regroup (be prepared to ) message to members of the Team, so a determination can bemade on issuing a CU Alert and/or activating the Team.Concordia University has requested the local police notify the Campus Safety Department of events in thecommunity that would alter the institution’s emergency posture.Active Shooter on CampusSpecific response protocols for students, staff and faculty are posted on-line as is a Department ofHomeland Security produced video s/default/files/Active%20Shooter%20Response.pdf911 and Campus Safety are immediately called. Decisions to shelter-in-place and/or evacuate are dictatedby the incident dynamics and proximity to the active threat. Additional training on appropriate responseis provided to students, staff and faculty.Emergency Management PlanConcordia University has an Emergency Management Plan designed to effectively and efficientlycoordinate the use of CU and community resources to protect life and property immediately followingand during a critical event on the CU campus. It is put into effect whenever an event affecting the CUCampus cannot be controlled through normal channels and procedures.The plan also provides a management structure for coordinating and deploying essential resources whichis consistent with established practices relating to coordination of resources through the use of theIncident Command System (ICS) as specified by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) andalso the Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) functions to ensure cooperative response efforts withexternal agencies.Response ProtocolAs specified by the NIMS, CU uses the Incident Command System (ICS) as its management structure duringan operational response to an emergency situation or incident. This provides an orderly andpredetermined alignment of responsibilities among key CU management personnel and facilitatescoordination with external emergency response agencies and organizations as needed. A Critical IncidentManagement Team (CIMT) is activated by the Incident Commander as dictated by the severity and/orscope of an emergency situation or incident.Emergency Situations or Incidents are events that 1) cause significant disruption of university facilities,infrastructure and/or operations or that 2) may or have caused serious bodily harm, injury or illness. TheCIMT is trained to assist the University in preparation, response, and recovery operations. As is thephilosophy of the NIMS, our response is scalable so the University is prepared to activate the resourcesnecessary as dictated by the magnitude of the event.Drills, Testing, and Evacuation ProceduresConcordia Law is fully equipped on every floor with fire alarms, extinguishers, and an overhead sprinkler6
system. When a fire alarm sounds, all students must evacuate the building immediately. Students shouldevacuate from the nearest exit and gather in the C.W. Moore Park (on the corner of 5th Street and GroveStreet) one block northeast of the School of Law. Students discovered tampering with or otherwisemisusing the fire equipment will be subject to immediate discipline and a 200 fine.Announced and unannounced drills and exercises may also be conducted for emergency evacuation inthe event of a fire, active shooter, earthquake, catastrophic event, or other emergency. A routine messageis distributed notifying the campus of drills. Campus Safety Department will be notified of all drills, andwill maintain a log indicating the type of drill or exercise, the date and time, and whether it was anannounced or unannounced exercise. In addition, the Critical Incident Management Team conductsTabletop Exercises and/or Emergency Simulations.Security and Access to Boise CampusAccess to the Boise campus is controlled by electronic locks at all times and monitored by closedcircuit television. Authorized people may enter using their access card during the authorized hours.Visitors may be escorted by an authorized member of the community.The Physical Plant Services Department maintains buildings and grounds with a concern for safety. Atthe direction of Physical Plant Services, authorized external maintenance company personnel areprovided access cards for the law school during established maintenance visitation hours.Crime PreventionThe cooperation and involvement of the entire campus community in campus crime prevention isabsolutely necessary. The Campus Safety Department is committed to more than just reacting toreported suspicious activity, and crimes. It also attempts to deter the opportunity for criminal activity.Campus Safety provides timely notice to the campus community on crimes considered threats tosecurity by issuing e-mail alert messages and posting alerts in building common areas.The Campus Safety Department coordinates with the law school Assistant Dean of Student Affairs toprovide presentations to the campus community on criminal activity and crime prevention.Drug and Alcohol PolicyConcordia University School of Law is committed to a drug free campus, specifically illegal mood alteringsubstances and illegal drug paraphernalia. This policy reflects our conviction that the use of thesesubstances within the context of this community is inappropriate for legal, educational, anddevelopmental reasons. The potential of these substances to promote behavior that is destructive toboth property and lives makes them unacceptable in a community committed to healthy development.The School of Law will cooperate fully with police officials to address illegal behavior.Consumption or possession of alcohol at the School of Law is prohibited, except at events sponsoredand funded by the School of Law and as approved by the University President.Students, staff, and faculty should refer to the student, staff, or faculty handbook for furtherinformation.
