Hostage or Terrorist Situation:
In the event of a hostile action against a facility or personnel at Sacramento City College, the College Police should be notified immediately (x-2221, 558-2221, or use the nearest emergency phone). They will take necessary action to contact appropriate law enforcement agencies to deal with the situation.
If possible, evacuate the area where the event is taking place. Avoid panic in the area, but advise as many people as possible of the situation so that they can avoid the area too. Make careful mental notes of as much factual information as possible. This should include information like:
- Location of incident.
- Number and identity of hostages or perpetrators.
- Type and number of weapons or communications devices that are apparent.
- As much descriptive information as possible concerning the perpetrators.
If time and circumstances permit, the SCC Emergency Operation Center (EOC) will be convened. When City or County Law Enforcement arrives on scene, they will assume on-scene command of the situation and will direct all actions to counter the threat. Follow all instructions carefully.
