WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.618 --> 00:00:12.838 - I am really very glad to be able 2 00:00:12.838 --> 00:00:15.696 to introduce two presenters 3 00:00:15.696 --> 00:00:18.438 who are going to be talking about 4 00:00:18.438 --> 00:00:22.105 and helping us prepare for workplace threat. 5 00:00:23.078 --> 00:00:25.258 We have two officers here 6 00:00:25.258 --> 00:00:27.598 from our Campus Police Department. 7 00:00:27.598 --> 00:00:31.765 I'm going to first introduce Lieutenant Sue Dolly. 8 00:00:33.418 --> 00:00:37.085 Lieutenant Dolly has been here for 23 years. 9 00:00:40.123 --> 00:00:42.978 You oversee all of Smith, Mount Ho-lee-oh, 10 00:00:42.978 --> 00:00:43.998 and Hampton College. 11 00:00:43.998 --> 00:00:45.158 - [Sue] Mmm hmm. 12 00:00:45.158 --> 00:00:48.758 - Campuses, and we also have Officer Earl Brown, 13 00:00:48.758 --> 00:00:51.678 who is the community outreach coordinator, 14 00:00:51.678 --> 00:00:55.511 and he oversees Crime Prevention Unit as well. 15 00:00:56.518 --> 00:00:59.818 He's been with the department for seven years. 16 00:00:59.818 --> 00:01:01.998 They're going to give us an introduction 17 00:01:01.998 --> 00:01:04.838 and give us skills and key strategies 18 00:01:04.838 --> 00:01:09.005 for thinking about and handling a workplace threat. 19 00:01:11.844 --> 00:01:14.364 - Thank you, hello everyone. 20 00:01:14.364 --> 00:01:16.743 Thanks for giving us this time to speak with you. 21 00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:17.576 - You have to speak a little-- 22 00:01:17.576 --> 00:01:18.941 - Yeah, thanks for giving us this time 23 00:01:18.941 --> 00:01:20.541 to speak with you all. 24 00:01:20.541 --> 00:01:24.100 The active threat, this thing is very dear to us, 25 00:01:24.100 --> 00:01:25.960 a lot of violence that's been 26 00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:27.201 going on in the workplace 27 00:01:27.201 --> 00:01:30.500 and on campuses, and in various communities 28 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.280 when you turn on the news everyday. 29 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:33.900 So we wanna do our part to try to keep 30 00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:35.483 the community safe. 31 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.280 One of the things that we're gonna be discussing 32 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.741 is basically the workplace threat that comes into. 33 00:01:43.741 --> 00:01:45.840 A lot of us we probably see this all the time 34 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.680 that comes into the community. 35 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:48.881 Am I speaking loud enough for everyone? 36 00:01:48.881 --> 00:01:50.020 Can you hear me? 37 00:01:50.020 --> 00:01:51.300 A little bit louder? 38 00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:52.960 Okay, a little bit closer, okay. 39 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:54.500 I'm not use to this. 40 00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.941 I only sing to myself in the bathroom in the mirror. 41 00:01:56.941 --> 00:01:59.740 (audience laughs) 42 00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:02.823 (laughs) Okay, so... 43 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.220 And I sound good too, you know. 44 00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:09.860 (audience laughs) 45 00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:11.200 So what we're gonna be doing 46 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:13.740 is basically just talking about that threat, 47 00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:14.940 that workplace threat, 48 00:02:14.940 --> 00:02:16.940 what it is, how to identify it, 49 00:02:16.940 --> 00:02:19.080 and if it comes into your environment, 50 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.400 the things that you can do to keep yourself safe. 51 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.980 It's very important, 52 00:02:23.980 --> 00:02:26.340 so we're gonna be covering a few different things 53 00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:28.600 in relation to that, 54 00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:29.880 but one thing I do wanna mention, 55 00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:31.860 normally when we do this program, 56 00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:33.320 it's about an hour and a half long, 57 00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:35.040 and it has a video that's attached to it, 58 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.980 but today we just kinda condensed it down. 59 00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:38.660 There's no video attached to it, 60 00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:41.220 so we're just gonna be doing more discussion, 61 00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:42.620 and then right at the end we'll take 62 00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:45.080 any questions and answers that you have. 63 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.900 Okay, so first thing I wanna talk about 64 00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:48.580 is what is the active threat? 65 00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:50.160 So when we start thinking about 66 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.480 what is that threat that comes into your environment, 67 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.040 a lot of times we think about the person 68 00:02:54.040 --> 00:02:56.140 that comes in with a firearm, 69 00:02:56.140 --> 00:02:57.900 but we know that that threat can be 70 00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:59.500 someone that can come in with a knife 71 00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:01.340 or with a blunt object. 72 00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:03.500 We also know that that threat can happen 73 00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.420 by a person that's already inside the environment. 74 00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:07.600 Maybe there's a meeting, 75 00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:09.220 maybe there's an intense meeting 76 00:03:09.220 --> 00:03:10.680 that you're meeting with some individuals, 77 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.180 and, you know, maybe they're upset 78 00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:13.560 and become hostile, 79 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.520 so that threat can become a chair 80 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:16.920 or whatever they choose to use, 81 00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:18.660 but right now, we're gonna focus 82 00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:20.080 a little bit on that active threat 83 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.220 where we're dealing with someone 84 00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:22.480 with a firearm. 85 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:23.620 How to identify that, 86 00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:25.120 so when you start thinking about that, 87 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.720 if it comes into your environment, 88 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:27.840 what do you do? 89 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.020 Because we know that fear 90 00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:30.400 and that panic is gonna set in, 91 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.500 but in many cases, we know that 92 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:33.780 sometimes when it comes in, 93 00:03:33.780 --> 00:03:35.240 people don't think it's really happening. 94 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.600 We ignore it because we hear so much 95 00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.420 that's going on outside and around us 96 00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:41.580 that we don't pay attention to those little things, 97 00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:43.900 now we are in a place that we 98 00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:45.400 actually have to pay attention 99 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.500 to different things that are going on 100 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:48.980 around us because it may not just happen 101 00:03:48.980 --> 00:03:50.640 to us here, but it can happen to you 102 00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:52.180 when you go to the mall, 103 00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:53.360 when you go to the movie theater, 104 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.960 so now we gotta think about everything 105 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.060 that goes on around us 106 00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:57.360 when we're moving around. 107 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.180 So now that's where we get into 108 00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:00.440 what is that active threat 109 00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:02.357 and how to identify it. 110 00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:07.300 - What I've noticed... 111 00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:08.220 I'm in my 50s. 112 00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:10.700 Many of you probably thought I was in my 20s. 113 00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:12.440 (audience laughs) 114 00:04:12.440 --> 00:04:14.620 But it's almost ever... 115 00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.060 We are, we're an act, the two of us. 116 00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:19.020 But we're very passionate about this. 117 00:04:19.020 --> 00:04:20.460 Times have changed. 118 00:04:20.460 --> 00:04:22.710 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 119 00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:26.480 I remember fights on the schoolyard. 120 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.900 I don't remember people bringing guns to school, 121 00:04:29.900 --> 00:04:31.600 and it's almost every day 122 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.600 we open up a newspaper, turn on the radio, 123 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.000 and turn on the TV, 124 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.140 and what do we see? 125 00:04:37.140 --> 00:04:39.200 There's been some type of a shooting 126 00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:41.940 or something somewhere. 127 00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:46.140 I just wanna share with you just a little bit from... 128 00:04:46.140 --> 00:04:47.640 The FBI actually just... 129 00:04:47.640 --> 00:04:50.260 We've really been anticipating this report 130 00:04:50.260 --> 00:04:51.960 from the FBI. 131 00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:54.240 They did a study on active shooters, 132 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.160 active threats. 133 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.960 In this study they concentrated mainly 134 00:04:57.960 --> 00:04:59.460 just on active shooters, 135 00:04:59.460 --> 00:05:01.127 so people with guns. 136 00:05:03.108 --> 00:05:05.360 It's staggering, the statistics. 137 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.432 70% of active shooters incidents occurred 138 00:05:08.432 --> 00:05:12.599 at commercial business or educational institution, 70% 139 00:05:14.409 --> 00:05:16.409 The study was based on, 140 00:05:17.452 --> 00:05:20.572 again, just on a shooter, not anything 141 00:05:20.572 --> 00:05:22.739 that included knives or any other 142 00:05:22.739 --> 00:05:24.639 type of weapon. 143 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.058 The FBI found 160 active shooter incidents 144 00:05:28.058 --> 00:05:31.308 meeting the criteria from 2000 to 2013. 145 00:05:32.379 --> 00:05:33.296 That's 160. 146 00:05:35.894 --> 00:05:37.314 During the study time frame, 147 00:05:37.314 --> 00:05:39.564 over 1,000 lives were lost, 148 00:05:40.414 --> 00:05:41.554 and the worst... 149 00:05:41.554 --> 00:05:43.614 And I hate to even bring these up, 150 00:05:43.614 --> 00:05:44.834 but we know what they are, 151 00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:47.001 Sandy Hook, 29 casualties, 152 00:05:48.154 --> 00:05:50.821 Fort Hood, Texas, 45 casualties, 153 00:05:51.934 --> 00:05:53.434 Virginia Tech, 49, 154 00:05:54.514 --> 00:05:56.514 and Aurora, the theater, 155 00:05:57.754 --> 00:05:59.587 70 people were killed. 156 00:06:01.334 --> 00:06:03.854 The majority of the shooters are young males, 157 00:06:03.854 --> 00:06:06.871 acting alone, but we do know 158 00:06:06.871 --> 00:06:09.134 I believe there are about six females. 159 00:06:09.134 --> 00:06:10.674 There was a professor that didn't 160 00:06:10.674 --> 00:06:12.054 get her tenure, and went in 161 00:06:12.054 --> 00:06:14.054 and shot her colleagues. 162 00:06:15.254 --> 00:06:19.394 40% of the shooters committed suicide 163 00:06:19.394 --> 00:06:22.714 at the scene or shortly after, 164 00:06:22.714 --> 00:06:23.547 and 69... 165 00:06:24.474 --> 00:06:26.914 The is the percentage that I really wanna hit home 166 00:06:26.914 --> 00:06:28.674 'cause this is really frightening. 167 00:06:28.674 --> 00:06:31.924 69% ended in five minutes or less. 168 00:06:32.934 --> 00:06:36.434 Nearly half ended in two minutes or less. 169 00:06:36.434 --> 00:06:38.014 Sandy Hook Elementary School, 170 00:06:38.014 --> 00:06:39.274 all those children, 171 00:06:39.274 --> 00:06:41.934 it was less than five minutes at Sandy Hook, 172 00:06:41.934 --> 00:06:43.594 so my point is on this that 173 00:06:43.594 --> 00:06:46.314 we don't know when these are gonna occur, 174 00:06:46.314 --> 00:06:47.734 but when they do occur, 175 00:06:47.734 --> 00:06:50.054 they're rapid, and it's unpredictable. 176 00:06:50.054 --> 00:06:52.221 So we need to be prepared. 177 00:06:54.614 --> 00:06:56.447 So this brings me into 178 00:06:57.714 --> 00:07:01.275 we need to have a survival mindset. 179 00:07:01.275 --> 00:07:04.475 We really need to start thinking about our surroundings, 180 00:07:04.475 --> 00:07:07.835 and the first one is awareness. 181 00:07:07.835 --> 00:07:09.754 Are you aware of your surroundings? 182 00:07:09.754 --> 00:07:12.504 Like do you ever get that feeling 183 00:07:13.676 --> 00:07:16.414 that there might be something wrong? 184 00:07:16.414 --> 00:07:18.664 Have you ever thought about 185 00:07:21.735 --> 00:07:23.314 you know, that something's happening 186 00:07:23.314 --> 00:07:25.695 that might lead up to a threat? 187 00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:27.354 It's just that you have to start 188 00:07:27.354 --> 00:07:29.634 thinking about this now. 189 00:07:29.634 --> 00:07:32.884 Preparation, have you developed a plan? 190 00:07:34.854 --> 00:07:36.815 A workplace is different than a mall. 191 00:07:36.815 --> 00:07:38.194 And as we go into our discussion 192 00:07:38.194 --> 00:07:39.374 a little bit more, 193 00:07:39.374 --> 00:07:41.615 we're gonna show you the simple concept 194 00:07:41.615 --> 00:07:44.174 that you can use in any area of your life, 195 00:07:44.174 --> 00:07:47.527 wherever you're at, wherever you're out. 196 00:07:47.527 --> 00:07:49.714 And rehearsal, you know, we want you 197 00:07:49.714 --> 00:07:50.795 to come up with a plan, 198 00:07:50.795 --> 00:07:52.834 and we want you to rehearse that plan. 199 00:07:52.834 --> 00:07:54.214 I don't know if you guys are like me, 200 00:07:54.214 --> 00:07:55.954 but every day I go to work, 201 00:07:55.954 --> 00:07:57.514 I go in the same door. 202 00:07:57.514 --> 00:07:58.714 Well, let's go to parking. 203 00:07:58.714 --> 00:07:59.794 I park in the same spot. 204 00:07:59.794 --> 00:08:00.855 If somebody parks in that spot, 205 00:08:00.855 --> 00:08:01.915 "Hey, that's my spot. 206 00:08:01.915 --> 00:08:03.935 "What are you doing parking there?" 207 00:08:03.935 --> 00:08:06.414 Or I just go in and out of the building, 208 00:08:06.414 --> 00:08:09.495 every where I go, I tend to be very... 209 00:08:09.495 --> 00:08:10.895 I go in the same doors, 210 00:08:10.895 --> 00:08:13.554 I leave by the same door, 211 00:08:13.554 --> 00:08:16.304 so we need to change our mindset. 212 00:08:18.614 --> 00:08:20.434 - That's a very good point. 213 00:08:20.434 --> 00:08:22.434 Again, I mentioned earlier how 214 00:08:22.434 --> 00:08:25.061 in many cases, you may be dealing 215 00:08:25.061 --> 00:08:25.894 with situations like that 216 00:08:25.894 --> 00:08:29.235 that's very similar, and you know things are... 217 00:08:29.235 --> 00:08:30.855 Something's off. 218 00:08:30.855 --> 00:08:32.555 We've been doing this job for a long time. 219 00:08:32.555 --> 00:08:35.355 I've been a police officer for about 10 years. 220 00:08:35.355 --> 00:08:37.194 I worked for another department, 221 00:08:37.194 --> 00:08:38.375 and in many cases, 222 00:08:38.375 --> 00:08:40.615 when I'm responding to addresses 223 00:08:40.615 --> 00:08:42.754 or dealing with domestics, 224 00:08:42.754 --> 00:08:44.335 I really count on social workers. 225 00:08:44.335 --> 00:08:45.735 We make a lot of phone calls 226 00:08:45.735 --> 00:08:47.134 where we're doing 5180s or whatever 227 00:08:47.134 --> 00:08:48.295 we need to do, 228 00:08:48.295 --> 00:08:49.595 so we really count on you, 229 00:08:49.595 --> 00:08:51.174 and we also know that you guys are always 230 00:08:51.174 --> 00:08:53.294 dealing with situations that can 231 00:08:53.294 --> 00:08:54.954 be very sensitive and things can happen, 232 00:08:54.954 --> 00:08:57.474 and now we're talking about the workplace, 233 00:08:57.474 --> 00:08:59.275 so we know how dear this is, 234 00:08:59.275 --> 00:09:01.495 and that awareness is really key 235 00:09:01.495 --> 00:09:03.355 to pick up on those different signs. 236 00:09:03.355 --> 00:09:04.995 I know when I pick up on different things, 237 00:09:04.995 --> 00:09:06.795 I have no problem picking up the phone 238 00:09:06.795 --> 00:09:08.515 and maybe calling a social worker 239 00:09:08.515 --> 00:09:09.975 that I know, or calling the ADA 240 00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:11.135 and asking a question 241 00:09:11.135 --> 00:09:12.295 'cause we're dealing with stuff 242 00:09:12.295 --> 00:09:13.815 'cause we rely on you guys as well, 243 00:09:13.815 --> 00:09:15.434 so when we start talking about, again, 244 00:09:15.434 --> 00:09:17.235 preparation, what can we do 245 00:09:17.235 --> 00:09:19.295 to better prepare ourselves 246 00:09:19.295 --> 00:09:21.054 in case something happens? 247 00:09:21.054 --> 00:09:22.375 When you're in the workplace, 248 00:09:22.375 --> 00:09:24.074 as the lieutenant had mentioned before, 249 00:09:24.074 --> 00:09:25.555 not using the same door, 250 00:09:25.555 --> 00:09:26.815 maybe checking certain doors. 251 00:09:26.815 --> 00:09:29.455 Sometimes you'll find doors where 252 00:09:29.455 --> 00:09:32.655 people are stacking boxes near the exit 253 00:09:32.655 --> 00:09:34.114 'cause they really don't use that door, 254 00:09:34.114 --> 00:09:35.834 and that's like a storage area. 255 00:09:35.834 --> 00:09:37.055 Well, in a case like this, 256 00:09:37.055 --> 00:09:38.314 if there is an active threat, 257 00:09:38.314 --> 00:09:39.714 you may need to remember where's 258 00:09:39.714 --> 00:09:40.955 that exit at? 259 00:09:40.955 --> 00:09:42.874 I may need to use that door to get out, 260 00:09:42.874 --> 00:09:44.335 so you need to think about that. 261 00:09:44.335 --> 00:09:45.694 When you're hiring new people 262 00:09:45.694 --> 00:09:47.134 into the workplace, maybe someone 263 00:09:47.134 --> 00:09:50.055 needs to go around and bring them around 264 00:09:50.055 --> 00:09:51.514 and show them the different exits 265 00:09:51.514 --> 00:09:52.774 of that building, so they understand 266 00:09:52.774 --> 00:09:54.635 and know how to leave if they need to, 267 00:09:54.635 --> 00:09:55.974 even if it's a fire. 268 00:09:55.974 --> 00:09:57.274 You look at the school system today, 269 00:09:57.274 --> 00:09:59.675 we always have fire drills, fire alarms, 270 00:09:59.675 --> 00:10:02.855 but nobody's preparing for the active threat now. 271 00:10:02.855 --> 00:10:03.975 Look at where we're at now. 272 00:10:03.975 --> 00:10:05.115 Now we got to prepare 273 00:10:05.115 --> 00:10:06.275 in case there's a gunman 274 00:10:06.275 --> 00:10:07.694 that comes into your workplace now. 275 00:10:07.694 --> 00:10:09.655 So now we're doing those types of trainings, 276 00:10:09.655 --> 00:10:12.435 so we have to prepare for these types of things. 277 00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:14.074 And we have to make sure that 278 00:10:14.074 --> 00:10:16.674 our colleagues, the new hires that we bring on, 279 00:10:16.674 --> 00:10:18.815 that they're familiar with this new building, 280 00:10:18.815 --> 00:10:21.195 and the layout, so they can escape as well, 281 00:10:21.195 --> 00:10:22.435 if they need to. 282 00:10:22.435 --> 00:10:23.875 So that awareness is key, 283 00:10:23.875 --> 00:10:26.495 and that preparation is key. 284 00:10:26.495 --> 00:10:28.155 Well, we're doing that. 285 00:10:28.155 --> 00:10:31.114 Rehearsal, maybe periodically, 286 00:10:31.114 --> 00:10:32.514 if you just kinda move around, 287 00:10:32.514 --> 00:10:34.554 maybe a couple of times a year 288 00:10:34.554 --> 00:10:36.994 with your staff and just go through 289 00:10:36.994 --> 00:10:38.354 that rehearsal of the building 290 00:10:38.354 --> 00:10:39.294 and the layout. 291 00:10:39.294 --> 00:10:41.076 Have some kind of plan in place in case, 292 00:10:41.076 --> 00:10:42.374 maybe it's a code word. 293 00:10:42.374 --> 00:10:43.974 Maybe you set up some type of alarm. 294 00:10:43.974 --> 00:10:46.674 Maybe you think about the way your doors open, 295 00:10:46.674 --> 00:10:48.514 if there is an active threat, 296 00:10:48.514 --> 00:10:50.554 what you need to do to hide out, 297 00:10:50.554 --> 00:10:52.694 to get out, whatever you need to do with that, 298 00:10:52.694 --> 00:10:54.094 and we're gonna go over some of the 299 00:10:54.094 --> 00:10:55.614 tips for that as well, 300 00:10:55.614 --> 00:10:56.689 but these are things we gotta 301 00:10:56.689 --> 00:10:57.976 start thinking about now, 302 00:10:57.976 --> 00:11:00.072 so we can have that plan in place 303 00:11:00.072 --> 00:11:01.322 moving forward. 304 00:11:05.094 --> 00:11:06.674 - So these are the simple concepts 305 00:11:06.674 --> 00:11:08.194 we're gonna teach you. 306 00:11:08.194 --> 00:11:09.754 So, you go out to a mall, 307 00:11:09.754 --> 00:11:11.454 go to a movie, 308 00:11:11.454 --> 00:11:14.794 anywhere you go, your workplace, 309 00:11:14.794 --> 00:11:16.714 here at Smith College in the summer. 310 00:11:16.714 --> 00:11:18.631 It'll be warm, no snow. 311 00:11:20.074 --> 00:11:22.174 The first concept, let's look at it. 312 00:11:22.174 --> 00:11:24.234 Figure out what's going on. 313 00:11:24.234 --> 00:11:26.567 Virginia Tech, this was sad. 314 00:11:28.894 --> 00:11:31.114 There was construction at Virginia Tech, 315 00:11:31.114 --> 00:11:32.814 and two professors... 316 00:11:32.814 --> 00:11:34.234 People were ignoring it. 317 00:11:34.234 --> 00:11:36.794 Construction going on. 318 00:11:36.794 --> 00:11:38.514 Then there were other noises. 319 00:11:38.514 --> 00:11:39.754 They ignored those noises. 320 00:11:39.754 --> 00:11:42.794 They just assumed it was construction going on, 321 00:11:42.794 --> 00:11:45.514 and two professors went to the second floor, 322 00:11:45.514 --> 00:11:47.014 and they were fatally shot 323 00:11:47.014 --> 00:11:48.294 by the gunman, 324 00:11:48.294 --> 00:11:50.694 so you need to figure out what's going on. 325 00:11:50.694 --> 00:11:52.834 If it sounds like a gunshot, 326 00:11:52.834 --> 00:11:56.434 but it's a car backfiring, get out. 327 00:11:56.434 --> 00:11:57.474 Nobody's gonna... 328 00:11:57.474 --> 00:11:58.734 You know what I mean? 329 00:11:58.734 --> 00:12:01.914 You'd rather save your life, than not, 330 00:12:01.914 --> 00:12:05.554 and people ask, "What's a gunshot sound like?" 331 00:12:05.554 --> 00:12:08.174 Believe me, you'll know what it sounds like. 332 00:12:08.174 --> 00:12:09.254 You really will. 333 00:12:09.254 --> 00:12:11.034 Think of fireworks, firecrackers. 334 00:12:11.034 --> 00:12:13.634 It's louder than that. 335 00:12:13.634 --> 00:12:15.514 So figure out what's going on, 336 00:12:15.514 --> 00:12:17.514 and then make your plan. 337 00:12:19.814 --> 00:12:21.474 The biggest thing that I tell people, 338 00:12:21.474 --> 00:12:24.234 get out, get out if you can. 339 00:12:24.234 --> 00:12:25.454 Wherever you're at, 340 00:12:25.454 --> 00:12:28.134 your workplace, whatever, get out. 341 00:12:28.134 --> 00:12:29.534 Get out. 342 00:12:29.534 --> 00:12:31.634 I don't even know what else to say. 343 00:12:31.634 --> 00:12:34.034 I feel bad because sometimes people go, 344 00:12:34.034 --> 00:12:36.274 "What about my coworkers?" 345 00:12:36.274 --> 00:12:39.524 You gotta save yourself, unfortunately. 346 00:12:40.554 --> 00:12:42.674 And we did a presentation in front 347 00:12:42.674 --> 00:12:44.934 of a school, some teachers. 348 00:12:44.934 --> 00:12:47.834 They're like, "What about all these little children?" 349 00:12:47.834 --> 00:12:49.274 That's a choice you have to make. 350 00:12:49.274 --> 00:12:50.554 I couldn't even tell you 351 00:12:50.554 --> 00:12:51.894 how to make that decision, 352 00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:53.274 whether to get those children out, 353 00:12:53.274 --> 00:12:55.594 save your life, try to save them. 354 00:12:55.594 --> 00:12:58.694 It's something that I can't even imagine. 355 00:12:58.694 --> 00:13:00.874 Stuff I read about and see all the time 356 00:13:00.874 --> 00:13:01.874 on the news. 357 00:13:03.934 --> 00:13:06.234 Then we talk about if you can't get out 358 00:13:06.234 --> 00:13:07.574 what are you gonna do? 359 00:13:07.574 --> 00:13:08.854 You gotta hide. 360 00:13:08.854 --> 00:13:11.594 You gotta get away from the gunman. 361 00:13:11.594 --> 00:13:13.054 You've got to hide. 362 00:13:13.054 --> 00:13:15.174 What you should do... 363 00:13:15.174 --> 00:13:16.874 And this is where your preparation 364 00:13:16.874 --> 00:13:18.054 and planning comes in. 365 00:13:18.054 --> 00:13:20.554 When you go back, wherever you're working this summer 366 00:13:20.554 --> 00:13:21.894 in your office or whatever, 367 00:13:21.894 --> 00:13:23.534 take a look at that office. 368 00:13:23.534 --> 00:13:25.117 Does the door lock? 369 00:13:26.894 --> 00:13:29.094 Are there shades that I can pull down? 370 00:13:29.094 --> 00:13:30.714 Is there somewhere that I can hide in the room, 371 00:13:30.714 --> 00:13:33.454 so if the gunman comes in? 372 00:13:33.454 --> 00:13:34.994 These are all things we have 373 00:13:34.994 --> 00:13:36.994 to start thinking about now. 374 00:13:36.994 --> 00:13:38.411 Survival mindset. 375 00:13:40.474 --> 00:13:43.557 I'm gonna let you take over a little. 376 00:13:44.434 --> 00:13:45.734 - I'm sorry we have to go back and forth 377 00:13:45.734 --> 00:13:47.234 with the mic, but it's a good thing 378 00:13:47.234 --> 00:13:48.352 'cause I talk a lot, 379 00:13:48.352 --> 00:13:49.292 so if we had two mics, 380 00:13:49.292 --> 00:13:50.892 I wouldn't shut up. 381 00:13:50.892 --> 00:13:52.352 Again, what the lieutenant had mentioned 382 00:13:52.352 --> 00:13:54.154 about the getting out of the room. 383 00:13:54.154 --> 00:13:56.072 If you can get out, do that safely. 384 00:13:56.072 --> 00:13:57.372 Think about where you're at. 385 00:13:57.372 --> 00:13:58.452 Are you on the second floor? 386 00:13:58.452 --> 00:13:59.472 Are you on the third floor? 387 00:13:59.472 --> 00:14:01.052 Or maybe you can't exit a window. 388 00:14:01.052 --> 00:14:03.392 So maybe the gunshot sounds like 389 00:14:03.392 --> 00:14:04.592 they're very close, 390 00:14:04.592 --> 00:14:06.332 so you don't wanna go in the hall too much 391 00:14:06.332 --> 00:14:08.013 because now you wanna get back in there 392 00:14:08.013 --> 00:14:09.652 and secure yourself in there. 393 00:14:09.652 --> 00:14:10.973 You may have to do that. 394 00:14:10.973 --> 00:14:12.072 So if you can't get out, 395 00:14:12.072 --> 00:14:13.232 you're gonna have to basically 396 00:14:13.232 --> 00:14:14.452 bunker down in that space. 397 00:14:14.452 --> 00:14:15.713 Lock the doors. 398 00:14:15.713 --> 00:14:16.852 If there's a window on the door, 399 00:14:16.852 --> 00:14:18.212 try to cover it up with something. 400 00:14:18.212 --> 00:14:19.212 Get quiet. 401 00:14:19.212 --> 00:14:20.272 Move away from the doors 402 00:14:20.272 --> 00:14:21.292 and get low. 403 00:14:21.292 --> 00:14:22.372 Do now make a sound. 404 00:14:22.372 --> 00:14:23.852 Make sure that you take those cell phones 405 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:25.372 and put 'em on silent. 406 00:14:25.372 --> 00:14:26.492 You don't want 'em ringing 407 00:14:26.492 --> 00:14:27.672 because usually if that active threat 408 00:14:27.672 --> 00:14:29.852 is coming in, they have one focus on mind. 409 00:14:29.852 --> 00:14:31.152 They're moving forward. 410 00:14:31.152 --> 00:14:32.272 Anyone gets in their path, 411 00:14:32.272 --> 00:14:34.212 they're gonna shoot 'em, okay? 412 00:14:34.212 --> 00:14:35.572 So what you wanna do is make sure 413 00:14:35.572 --> 00:14:37.292 you get down, stay quiet, 414 00:14:37.292 --> 00:14:38.512 lock yourself in, 415 00:14:38.512 --> 00:14:40.172 and then wait for the authorities. 416 00:14:40.172 --> 00:14:42.152 Don't make a sound if you can, okay? 417 00:14:42.152 --> 00:14:43.592 They're not gonna spend a lot of time 418 00:14:43.592 --> 00:14:45.172 trying to get into a locked door. 419 00:14:45.172 --> 00:14:46.732 They're there for a purpose. 420 00:14:46.732 --> 00:14:47.792 They're gonna try to move on. 421 00:14:47.792 --> 00:14:48.912 They know that they authorities 422 00:14:48.912 --> 00:14:50.912 are on their way, okay? 423 00:14:50.912 --> 00:14:54.172 So just do that, and try to keep yourself safe, 424 00:14:54.172 --> 00:14:55.312 as long as you can, 425 00:14:55.312 --> 00:14:56.652 until we get there. 426 00:14:56.652 --> 00:14:57.992 Very important. 427 00:14:57.992 --> 00:14:59.132 You may have to get to a point 428 00:14:59.132 --> 00:15:00.532 where you have to make a stand. 429 00:15:00.532 --> 00:15:03.252 This person may try to come into that room. 430 00:15:03.252 --> 00:15:05.312 So you gotta make a plan in there. 431 00:15:05.312 --> 00:15:07.192 This is like your survival mindset, 432 00:15:07.192 --> 00:15:08.912 as the lieutenant has mentioned. 433 00:15:08.912 --> 00:15:10.152 What are you gonna do? 434 00:15:10.152 --> 00:15:11.992 So someone's gonna have to do something. 435 00:15:11.992 --> 00:15:13.092 They're gonna come through the door, 436 00:15:13.092 --> 00:15:14.412 but we don't want everyone huddled up 437 00:15:14.412 --> 00:15:16.432 in one area, so when they come in, 438 00:15:16.432 --> 00:15:18.172 they start firing on the whole group. 439 00:15:18.172 --> 00:15:20.613 Kinda spread out, get low. 440 00:15:20.613 --> 00:15:22.252 If they come in, have a plan. 441 00:15:22.252 --> 00:15:23.693 Who's gonna do something? 442 00:15:23.693 --> 00:15:24.993 I'm looking in this room. 443 00:15:24.993 --> 00:15:26.612 We have all these glasses on the table. 444 00:15:26.612 --> 00:15:28.733 I may have to throw something to distract them. 445 00:15:28.733 --> 00:15:30.573 We may have to tackle this person. 446 00:15:30.573 --> 00:15:31.913 Someone may get shot, 447 00:15:31.913 --> 00:15:34.053 but they're not gonna shoot everybody. 448 00:15:34.053 --> 00:15:36.233 But you gotta do what you gotta do at that point. 449 00:15:36.233 --> 00:15:38.413 And this is the kinda stuff we have to think about. 450 00:15:38.413 --> 00:15:39.953 That fear and panic's gonna set in, 451 00:15:39.953 --> 00:15:41.313 but we're gonna have to react. 452 00:15:41.313 --> 00:15:42.373 We're gonna have to survive. 453 00:15:42.373 --> 00:15:44.733 That's our natural instinct. 454 00:15:44.733 --> 00:15:45.933 So that's the last part. 455 00:15:45.933 --> 00:15:47.333 Basically, you're gonna have to 456 00:15:47.333 --> 00:15:49.313 take this individual out when they come in. 457 00:15:49.313 --> 00:15:51.173 So now, if we back up a little bit, 458 00:15:51.173 --> 00:15:53.253 and we think about the preparation for that. 459 00:15:53.253 --> 00:15:55.153 As the lieutenant mentioned, the doorways, 460 00:15:55.153 --> 00:15:56.353 different things you can do. 461 00:15:56.353 --> 00:15:58.653 So you don't wanna try to barricade a door 462 00:15:58.653 --> 00:16:00.553 because you think the door opens in, 463 00:16:00.553 --> 00:16:02.213 and you don't realize the door opens out, 464 00:16:02.213 --> 00:16:03.553 and the person just opens the door, 465 00:16:03.553 --> 00:16:04.593 and kick the stuff out of the way, 466 00:16:04.593 --> 00:16:05.633 and they come in. 467 00:16:05.633 --> 00:16:07.213 Know how your doors open. 468 00:16:07.213 --> 00:16:08.353 Do something cheap. 469 00:16:08.353 --> 00:16:09.353 Door stoppers, you can get 'em at 470 00:16:09.353 --> 00:16:10.913 like a hardware store or Home Depot, 471 00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:12.233 just a little wood chip. 472 00:16:12.233 --> 00:16:14.173 Have it, so you know if your door opens in 473 00:16:14.173 --> 00:16:15.813 have a couple of those around, 474 00:16:15.813 --> 00:16:17.053 so when I lock the door, 475 00:16:17.053 --> 00:16:18.633 just put one up under the bottom. 476 00:16:18.633 --> 00:16:19.873 Make it harder for this person 477 00:16:19.873 --> 00:16:22.293 to come into that room, and be quiet. 478 00:16:22.293 --> 00:16:24.093 If you can exit the building, 479 00:16:24.093 --> 00:16:25.273 and you can get out, 480 00:16:25.273 --> 00:16:26.913 get out as safely as possible, 481 00:16:26.913 --> 00:16:29.253 and then start calling 911 right away. 482 00:16:29.253 --> 00:16:30.813 Let them know what's going on. 483 00:16:30.813 --> 00:16:32.553 Tell the dispatcher so all the authorities 484 00:16:32.553 --> 00:16:34.073 can be coming, okay? 485 00:16:34.073 --> 00:16:35.373 So get out safely. 486 00:16:35.373 --> 00:16:36.873 Do the best you can, 487 00:16:36.873 --> 00:16:38.313 but if you can't get out, 488 00:16:38.313 --> 00:16:40.793 you're gonna have to basically lock yourself in, 489 00:16:40.793 --> 00:16:42.953 so this is why it's important to know 490 00:16:42.953 --> 00:16:45.173 your area, your workspace that you're in 491 00:16:45.173 --> 00:16:46.513 every single day. 492 00:16:46.513 --> 00:16:48.773 It's important to know how those doors work. 493 00:16:48.773 --> 00:16:50.613 It's important to know where the exits are 494 00:16:50.613 --> 00:16:53.393 So it's a shame if you go to go exit 495 00:16:53.393 --> 00:16:55.153 the building one way that you come in 496 00:16:55.153 --> 00:16:56.393 every single day 497 00:16:56.393 --> 00:16:58.053 and the gunman's downstairs, 498 00:16:58.053 --> 00:16:59.493 but you didn't know that if you 499 00:16:59.493 --> 00:17:00.733 go down the hall, around the corner, 500 00:17:00.733 --> 00:17:02.973 there's another exit downstairs that way. 501 00:17:02.973 --> 00:17:04.193 So we gotta think about that 502 00:17:04.193 --> 00:17:05.653 because that stuff sets in. 503 00:17:05.653 --> 00:17:07.373 The people you're responsible for, 504 00:17:07.373 --> 00:17:08.573 if you have students in there, 505 00:17:08.573 --> 00:17:09.793 kinda think about them. 506 00:17:09.793 --> 00:17:10.792 What can you do? 507 00:17:10.792 --> 00:17:12.692 So if you're gonna have to make a decision, 508 00:17:12.692 --> 00:17:15.173 Maybe I need to get everyone down quiet. 509 00:17:15.173 --> 00:17:17.856 Keep 'em quiet, keep 'em calm, okay? 510 00:17:17.856 --> 00:17:19.335 If you have a cell phone, 511 00:17:19.335 --> 00:17:21.615 get to a corner, quietly, whisper, 512 00:17:21.615 --> 00:17:23.235 try to talk, let 'em know. 513 00:17:23.235 --> 00:17:24.955 One thing law enforcement do, 514 00:17:24.955 --> 00:17:28.195 if we get phone calls that come in to the station... 515 00:17:28.195 --> 00:17:29.715 Okay, this is at any PD. 516 00:17:29.715 --> 00:17:32.035 If they come in and we have a bad connection, 517 00:17:32.035 --> 00:17:33.315 something's not quite right, 518 00:17:33.315 --> 00:17:34.360 and we drop a call, 519 00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:36.020 automatically, they send an officer 520 00:17:36.020 --> 00:17:38.319 to that location, automatically. 521 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.599 Okay, so dropped calls. 522 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.580 Someone could be calling, they need help. 523 00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:42.679 They could be sayings something, 524 00:17:42.679 --> 00:17:43.780 "Could I order a pizza?" 525 00:17:43.780 --> 00:17:45.580 "Could you please get that pizza here to me?" 526 00:17:45.580 --> 00:17:46.939 We're trained to know, okay, 527 00:17:46.939 --> 00:17:48.320 something's not quite right. 528 00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:50.460 Maybe we don't need the officers here. 529 00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:51.460 Something's not right. 530 00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.680 We still go and check it out. 531 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.900 So we're gonna be coming, 532 00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:55.159 so just make those calls, 533 00:17:55.159 --> 00:17:56.520 and make sure you get that information 534 00:17:56.520 --> 00:17:58.180 out to us as soon as possible, 535 00:17:58.180 --> 00:18:00.160 whatever you can, but just be quiet, 536 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.243 and just wait, wait for us to arrive. 537 00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:07.100 - So reminds me of 538 00:18:09.179 --> 00:18:13.004 we need to sign up for the campus alerts. 539 00:18:13.004 --> 00:18:14.384 If you're not signed up for it, 540 00:18:14.384 --> 00:18:17.143 not quite sure how it works with your group, 541 00:18:17.143 --> 00:18:18.804 but I'm assuming it works the same 542 00:18:18.804 --> 00:18:21.744 as the rest of us that work for the campus. 543 00:18:21.744 --> 00:18:24.864 It is so important to sign up for those notifications 544 00:18:24.864 --> 00:18:26.284 because you're gonna... 545 00:18:26.284 --> 00:18:28.924 You'll get a notification from campus police 546 00:18:28.924 --> 00:18:31.824 saying, "There's a shooter in this location", 547 00:18:31.824 --> 00:18:34.124 "Or there's some serious threat in this location.", 548 00:18:34.124 --> 00:18:36.144 so it's gonna tell you to stay in place, 549 00:18:36.144 --> 00:18:39.124 or it's gonna tell you to get the heck out of there, 550 00:18:39.124 --> 00:18:41.184 so it's really important to sign up for that, 551 00:18:41.184 --> 00:18:42.944 and then, I just wanna go into 552 00:18:42.944 --> 00:18:46.756 law enforcement's response to a threat. 553 00:18:46.756 --> 00:18:49.184 This, by no way am I promoting... 554 00:18:49.184 --> 00:18:51.724 This is not a promotion for us to be armed. 555 00:18:51.724 --> 00:18:54.404 Our campus police department, we are not armed. 556 00:18:54.404 --> 00:18:57.487 We are not an armed department. 557 00:18:57.487 --> 00:18:58.660 Times are changing. 558 00:18:58.660 --> 00:19:00.820 Who knows where that's gonna go in the future, 559 00:19:00.820 --> 00:19:03.840 but when something does occur on the campus, 560 00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:05.580 if there's an active threat, 561 00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:07.520 local police will be called. 562 00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:09.340 We're fortunate enough to have the state police 563 00:19:09.340 --> 00:19:11.140 barracks right up the road. 564 00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:12.868 We will form a perimeter, 565 00:19:12.868 --> 00:19:15.535 and law enforcement will arrive, 566 00:19:17.820 --> 00:19:20.487 and it will be in a matter of... 567 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.780 Like what I was talking about, 568 00:19:23.780 --> 00:19:25.840 these things happen rapidly, 569 00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:27.860 and they're unpredictable. 570 00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:29.460 Unfortunately, things will probably be done 571 00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:32.500 by the time law enforcement arrives. 572 00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:33.920 But it's why it's important, 573 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.740 have your phones, 911 in your phones. 574 00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:39.720 If you can get to a campus phone, 800, 575 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.887 but make sure you have those numbers in your phone. 576 00:19:46.477 --> 00:19:49.341 - Yes, it's gonna take moments for them to get there. 577 00:19:49.341 --> 00:19:50.921 As we mentioned before, 578 00:19:50.921 --> 00:19:52.541 sometimes these incidents happened 579 00:19:52.541 --> 00:19:53.901 in like two to five minutes. 580 00:19:53.901 --> 00:19:55.361 It doesn't take that long 581 00:19:55.361 --> 00:19:57.921 for a lot of individuals to lose their life 582 00:19:57.921 --> 00:20:00.421 by this person, unfortunately, 583 00:20:01.781 --> 00:20:03.221 so law enforcement is gonna be coming 584 00:20:03.221 --> 00:20:04.361 as fast as they can 585 00:20:04.361 --> 00:20:05.861 they can get here. 586 00:20:06.761 --> 00:20:08.061 That's why it's very important 587 00:20:08.061 --> 00:20:09.061 that you do what you can 588 00:20:09.061 --> 00:20:10.181 to try to stay safe. 589 00:20:10.181 --> 00:20:12.440 Lock yourself in, and be quiet 590 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.201 until we get there. 591 00:20:14.201 --> 00:20:16.441 The reality is, even if we were 592 00:20:16.441 --> 00:20:17.861 an armed department, the odds 593 00:20:17.861 --> 00:20:20.461 of no one getting harmed 594 00:20:20.461 --> 00:20:22.280 by an active shooter 595 00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:23.841 is almost impossible 596 00:20:23.841 --> 00:20:26.349 'cause that person is already there. 597 00:20:26.349 --> 00:20:28.941 What happens is is the response time. 598 00:20:28.941 --> 00:20:30.921 You want to get there as fast as you can. 599 00:20:30.921 --> 00:20:32.661 That's the response time, 600 00:20:32.661 --> 00:20:34.081 and that response time can reduce 601 00:20:34.081 --> 00:20:35.781 the number of lives lost, 602 00:20:35.781 --> 00:20:36.821 so what we're trying to do here 603 00:20:36.821 --> 00:20:38.869 is reduce that number as best we can 604 00:20:38.869 --> 00:20:40.568 by giving you these tips 605 00:20:40.568 --> 00:20:42.648 and ways to keep yourself safe 606 00:20:42.648 --> 00:20:44.089 if this does happen. 607 00:20:44.089 --> 00:20:46.229 When law enforcement does arrive, 608 00:20:46.229 --> 00:20:48.489 okay, they're gonna come in tactically, okay? 609 00:20:48.489 --> 00:20:50.569 And they only got one purpose on mind 610 00:20:50.569 --> 00:20:51.869 is to stop that threat. 611 00:20:51.869 --> 00:20:52.908 Hands are a threat. 612 00:20:52.908 --> 00:20:54.629 So when they start moving around, 613 00:20:54.629 --> 00:20:55.989 they start coming across individuals, 614 00:20:55.989 --> 00:20:58.519 remember, they don't know who this person is. 615 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.206 Maybe they have a description because 616 00:21:00.206 --> 00:21:02.046 someone called up and gave them that information, 617 00:21:02.046 --> 00:21:04.006 but if I said the person had blue jeans on 618 00:21:04.006 --> 00:21:06.286 and a blue shirt, okay, 619 00:21:06.286 --> 00:21:07.886 I could probably come across a lot 620 00:21:07.886 --> 00:21:09.646 of different people with maybe blue jeans on 621 00:21:09.646 --> 00:21:11.287 and a dark purple shirt, dark blue shirt, 622 00:21:11.287 --> 00:21:12.706 different things, 623 00:21:12.706 --> 00:21:14.146 but what I'm looking for is the person 624 00:21:14.146 --> 00:21:15.686 that has a weapon in their hand 625 00:21:15.686 --> 00:21:16.686 that's pointing it at me, 626 00:21:16.686 --> 00:21:18.606 or the person that looks like a threat. 627 00:21:18.606 --> 00:21:19.746 So if I come across you, 628 00:21:19.746 --> 00:21:20.746 and you're hunkered down, 629 00:21:20.746 --> 00:21:22.006 maybe you're under something, 630 00:21:22.006 --> 00:21:23.826 and you see law enforcement that's coming in, 631 00:21:23.826 --> 00:21:25.066 they're looking for the hands. 632 00:21:25.066 --> 00:21:26.666 We can kinda tell who's the threat 633 00:21:26.666 --> 00:21:28.707 and who's not, just show the hands. 634 00:21:28.707 --> 00:21:29.887 Hands are dangerous. 635 00:21:29.887 --> 00:21:30.967 We see the hands, we know you're 636 00:21:30.967 --> 00:21:32.207 not a threat to us. 637 00:21:32.207 --> 00:21:33.827 We may ask you a question like, 638 00:21:33.827 --> 00:21:35.146 "Which way did they go?" 639 00:21:35.146 --> 00:21:36.526 Just let the officer know, 640 00:21:36.526 --> 00:21:38.187 so they can keep moving forward. 641 00:21:38.187 --> 00:21:40.387 As they're moving forward clearing the building, 642 00:21:40.387 --> 00:21:41.727 every place that they go, 643 00:21:41.727 --> 00:21:43.166 they're gonna be clearing that space 644 00:21:43.166 --> 00:21:45.426 to make sure no one's left in the room. 645 00:21:45.426 --> 00:21:46.806 They're gonna keep moving, 646 00:21:46.806 --> 00:21:48.466 until they find this individual. 647 00:21:48.466 --> 00:21:50.186 In cases like that, 648 00:21:50.186 --> 00:21:51.406 you don't wanna run up to the officer. 649 00:21:51.406 --> 00:21:52.886 They're there to help you, 650 00:21:52.886 --> 00:21:54.126 but don't go running up to them 651 00:21:54.126 --> 00:21:56.706 because they have not stopped that person yet. 652 00:21:56.706 --> 00:21:59.126 That person could still be somewhere in there. 653 00:21:59.126 --> 00:22:00.286 Just stay where you are, 654 00:22:00.286 --> 00:22:02.487 and just continue on, and just show them your hands. 655 00:22:02.487 --> 00:22:03.606 Tell them what they ask you, 656 00:22:03.606 --> 00:22:05.806 and let them go stop this individual. 657 00:22:05.806 --> 00:22:07.087 It's very important. 658 00:22:07.087 --> 00:22:08.927 So they are there to help you. 659 00:22:08.927 --> 00:22:11.526 So as much information as you can give them 660 00:22:11.526 --> 00:22:12.587 before they get there, 661 00:22:12.587 --> 00:22:13.826 when you give it to the dispatcher, 662 00:22:13.826 --> 00:22:16.446 they're coming, they're gonna come into the building, okay? 663 00:22:16.446 --> 00:22:17.906 As the lieutenant mentioned, 664 00:22:17.906 --> 00:22:21.147 our department, we do not carry firearms, okay? 665 00:22:21.147 --> 00:22:22.546 So we can't respond. 666 00:22:22.546 --> 00:22:24.306 Usually it takes us about two to three minutes 667 00:22:24.306 --> 00:22:25.586 to respond to a call. 668 00:22:25.586 --> 00:22:27.872 A call like that we cannot respond to. 669 00:22:27.872 --> 00:22:29.732 We know that information, unfortunately, 670 00:22:29.732 --> 00:22:32.212 is really tough for our officers, our department. 671 00:22:32.212 --> 00:22:35.052 A lot officers work for other agencies, as well, 672 00:22:35.052 --> 00:22:37.112 and this is what we trained to do, 673 00:22:37.112 --> 00:22:38.191 but we can't go in, 674 00:22:38.191 --> 00:22:39.411 so we actually have to stand back, 675 00:22:39.411 --> 00:22:42.212 secure the perimeter, keep people out of that area, 676 00:22:42.212 --> 00:22:44.392 and hope everyone else keeps themselves safe, 677 00:22:44.392 --> 00:22:45.972 and then we just kind basically 678 00:22:45.972 --> 00:22:47.752 meet up with the other law enforcement 679 00:22:47.752 --> 00:22:48.952 when they come in and let them know 680 00:22:48.952 --> 00:22:50.832 how to get into these areas 681 00:22:50.832 --> 00:22:52.132 so they can go in. 682 00:22:52.132 --> 00:22:53.572 Okay, we're coming. 683 00:22:53.572 --> 00:22:55.672 You stay in place, 684 00:22:55.672 --> 00:22:56.852 until law enforcement comes, 685 00:22:56.852 --> 00:22:58.752 so if you're bunkered down in a room, 686 00:22:58.752 --> 00:22:59.972 you stay in that room, 687 00:22:59.972 --> 00:23:01.812 until law enforcement comes banging on the door, 688 00:23:01.812 --> 00:23:03.852 and they announce themselves as police. 689 00:23:03.852 --> 00:23:06.432 Just stay right there until they come. 690 00:23:06.432 --> 00:23:08.472 When they announce themselves, okay? 691 00:23:08.472 --> 00:23:10.192 And let them get in and do their job 692 00:23:10.192 --> 00:23:12.512 and stop this person, okay? 693 00:23:12.512 --> 00:23:14.312 It usually happens so fast. 694 00:23:14.312 --> 00:23:15.932 It doesn't take that long, 695 00:23:15.932 --> 00:23:17.652 and if anyone hasn't... 696 00:23:17.652 --> 00:23:19.072 I know it's kinda hard to 697 00:23:19.072 --> 00:23:21.712 know what a gunshot sounds like. 698 00:23:21.712 --> 00:23:23.962 It's like a car backfiring. 699 00:23:24.969 --> 00:23:27.844 Sometimes you can hear multiple shots. 700 00:23:27.844 --> 00:23:29.312 Sometimes you're not sure. 701 00:23:29.312 --> 00:23:30.313 If they're doing construction, 702 00:23:30.313 --> 00:23:32.513 and they're always banging, and doing stuff outside, 703 00:23:32.513 --> 00:23:34.092 you'd probably just ignore it. 704 00:23:34.092 --> 00:23:35.592 Just pay attention to that 705 00:23:35.592 --> 00:23:37.332 'cause maybe it is a gunshot. 706 00:23:37.332 --> 00:23:38.652 Maybe that day that you sit there, 707 00:23:38.652 --> 00:23:40.072 "Ah, it's no big deal.", 708 00:23:40.072 --> 00:23:42.252 no this person's getting closer and closer to you 709 00:23:42.252 --> 00:23:43.853 because you ignored it. 710 00:23:43.853 --> 00:23:45.312 You know, be suspicious. 711 00:23:45.312 --> 00:23:47.092 Maybe go check it out a little bit. 712 00:23:47.092 --> 00:23:48.372 If you're not sure, just, 713 00:23:48.372 --> 00:23:49.912 "You know what, maybe I'm gonna go 714 00:23:49.912 --> 00:23:51.012 "outside the building. 715 00:23:51.012 --> 00:23:52.452 "I'm gonna call the authorities anyway." 716 00:23:52.452 --> 00:23:53.792 That's okay. 717 00:23:53.792 --> 00:23:55.212 It's better to be safe than sorry, 718 00:23:55.212 --> 00:23:56.413 that's what I say. 719 00:23:56.413 --> 00:23:58.472 You know, that's what we're here for, okay? 720 00:23:58.472 --> 00:24:00.252 So just think about some of those things. 721 00:24:00.252 --> 00:24:01.472 How you can be aware. 722 00:24:01.472 --> 00:24:03.652 How you can prepare, and just rehearsal. 723 00:24:03.652 --> 00:24:06.020 Very important, the rehearsal part. 724 00:24:06.020 --> 00:24:08.287 You hire people into your organization, your office, 725 00:24:08.287 --> 00:24:09.992 periodically, kinda go through. 726 00:24:09.992 --> 00:24:12.651 Remember, the new hires that come in, 727 00:24:12.651 --> 00:24:14.371 they don't know your layout. 728 00:24:14.371 --> 00:24:16.631 Talk to them so they know those exits. 729 00:24:16.631 --> 00:24:18.172 Be prepared. 730 00:24:18.172 --> 00:24:20.692 It's gonna reduce the number of lives lost. 731 00:24:20.692 --> 00:24:22.359 It's very important. 732 00:24:28.678 --> 00:24:31.761 - So I just wanna reiterate the outs. 733 00:24:32.957 --> 00:24:34.757 Just remember it's a simple concept 734 00:24:34.757 --> 00:24:36.478 you can use anywhere you go, 735 00:24:36.478 --> 00:24:38.178 the mall, the movie theater, 736 00:24:38.178 --> 00:24:41.038 a park, doctor's offices, 737 00:24:41.038 --> 00:24:43.330 so just remember those outs. 738 00:24:43.330 --> 00:24:47.088 We'd like to open it up to discussion now. 739 00:24:47.088 --> 00:24:49.598 If anybody has anything that they'd like to add 740 00:24:49.598 --> 00:24:51.431 or any questions, yes? 741 00:24:52.798 --> 00:24:55.798 (indistinct speech) 742 00:25:21.257 --> 00:25:22.677 Here, I... 743 00:25:22.677 --> 00:25:23.510 That's... 744 00:25:24.377 --> 00:25:26.657 - Okay, in a situation like that, 745 00:25:26.657 --> 00:25:29.537 basically they're trying to... 746 00:25:29.537 --> 00:25:30.757 If the information comes in, 747 00:25:30.757 --> 00:25:32.577 they wanna make the community aware. 748 00:25:32.577 --> 00:25:34.117 We try not to shock the community, 749 00:25:34.117 --> 00:25:36.797 but we want to let you know exactly what's going on. 750 00:25:36.797 --> 00:25:38.337 It's very important for you to know 751 00:25:38.337 --> 00:25:39.657 what area it is, 752 00:25:39.657 --> 00:25:41.697 so if this happened across campus 753 00:25:41.697 --> 00:25:43.457 in another area, and you think, 754 00:25:43.457 --> 00:25:45.217 "Okay, maybe I kinda wanna clear out, 755 00:25:45.217 --> 00:25:46.457 "maybe get off campus.", 756 00:25:46.457 --> 00:25:48.317 okay then do that, okay? 757 00:25:48.317 --> 00:25:50.137 So you make your judgement call there, 758 00:25:50.137 --> 00:25:52.017 but at least you know what area 759 00:25:52.017 --> 00:25:53.477 that this threat is in 760 00:25:53.477 --> 00:25:57.157 and what's going on, so you're not going over there. 761 00:25:57.157 --> 00:25:58.757 Maybe later on in the day, 762 00:25:58.757 --> 00:26:00.377 "Yeah, I got a meeting over here.", 763 00:26:00.377 --> 00:26:01.497 you just gonna go over there 764 00:26:01.497 --> 00:26:03.877 because you didn't pay attention to the alert. 765 00:26:03.877 --> 00:26:05.617 That's not an area you should be going in 766 00:26:05.617 --> 00:26:07.357 That's why they put that out there, 767 00:26:07.357 --> 00:26:08.837 so either you can kind of leave campus, 768 00:26:08.837 --> 00:26:10.457 or just stay away and pay attention 769 00:26:10.457 --> 00:26:11.717 to the alerts that's coming in, 770 00:26:11.717 --> 00:26:15.457 but also you know now where that threat is in particular, 771 00:26:15.457 --> 00:26:16.877 and not to go over, 772 00:26:16.877 --> 00:26:18.897 and if you have other individuals with you 773 00:26:18.897 --> 00:26:20.857 or students, tell them don't go over 774 00:26:20.857 --> 00:26:22.077 to that location. 775 00:26:22.077 --> 00:26:24.017 Unfortunately, everyone don't have a... 776 00:26:24.017 --> 00:26:25.397 I know everyone has a cell phone, 777 00:26:25.397 --> 00:26:27.057 almost, but I have seen someone, 778 00:26:27.057 --> 00:26:28.457 recently with a flip-phone. 779 00:26:28.457 --> 00:26:30.137 People still have flip-phones. 780 00:26:30.137 --> 00:26:32.537 So maybe they didn't get that alert. 781 00:26:32.537 --> 00:26:34.258 I don't know, but now at least, 782 00:26:34.258 --> 00:26:36.277 if you got it, you can let these individuals know 783 00:26:36.277 --> 00:26:37.457 so they don't go over there, 784 00:26:37.457 --> 00:26:38.777 and let them know what's going on, 785 00:26:38.777 --> 00:26:40.444 so now you're aware. 786 00:26:41.838 --> 00:26:42.671 Yes? 787 00:26:43.958 --> 00:26:46.958 (indistinct speech) 788 00:27:02.878 --> 00:27:04.737 Okay, that's a good question. 789 00:27:04.737 --> 00:27:08.077 Just tell 'em, "I don't know if you're the police. 790 00:27:08.077 --> 00:27:09.417 "I don't wanna open the door." 791 00:27:09.417 --> 00:27:10.758 Okay, they'll show you something, 792 00:27:10.758 --> 00:27:12.458 so either we have a police ID. 793 00:27:12.458 --> 00:27:13.797 One of the officers can show you 794 00:27:13.797 --> 00:27:16.298 a police identification, slide it up under the door. 795 00:27:16.298 --> 00:27:19.237 Even if I could pop my badge off my shirt 796 00:27:19.237 --> 00:27:20.817 and pop it under or something, 797 00:27:20.817 --> 00:27:22.777 to let you know that I'm the authorities. 798 00:27:22.777 --> 00:27:24.678 Maybe if you asked me more questions, 799 00:27:24.678 --> 00:27:25.917 I'm gonna keep talking to you 800 00:27:25.917 --> 00:27:27.737 'cause I know now, we're at that point 801 00:27:27.737 --> 00:27:29.257 where we have to reassure you 802 00:27:29.257 --> 00:27:30.677 that we are the police, 803 00:27:30.677 --> 00:27:32.357 so we can get you out of there safely, 804 00:27:32.357 --> 00:27:33.697 so whatever I need to do, 805 00:27:33.697 --> 00:27:34.937 if I need to go in and take out 806 00:27:34.937 --> 00:27:37.137 my identification, I will slide it to you, 807 00:27:37.137 --> 00:27:38.537 and let you know, okay? 808 00:27:38.537 --> 00:27:39.897 So we can have that... 809 00:27:39.897 --> 00:27:41.597 Keep the door locked, keep talking to me, 810 00:27:41.597 --> 00:27:43.997 that's fine, but we'll do whatever 811 00:27:43.997 --> 00:27:45.397 we need to do to prove to you 812 00:27:45.397 --> 00:27:48.277 that we are the authorities. 813 00:27:48.277 --> 00:27:49.757 Yes? 814 00:27:49.757 --> 00:27:52.757 (indistinct speech) 815 00:29:19.038 --> 00:29:21.058 - I worked on the Smith Campus for almost 20 years 816 00:29:21.058 --> 00:29:24.077 before we merged with the other two colleges, 817 00:29:24.077 --> 00:29:25.978 and I know exactly what you're saying, 818 00:29:25.978 --> 00:29:27.278 in some of these buildings. 819 00:29:27.278 --> 00:29:28.478 We've gone around... 820 00:29:28.478 --> 00:29:30.498 We really haven't presented in front 821 00:29:30.498 --> 00:29:32.898 of such a large group like this, 822 00:29:32.898 --> 00:29:34.718 so we might be a little nervous, 823 00:29:34.718 --> 00:29:37.737 but we talk to people that work in offices, 824 00:29:37.737 --> 00:29:40.598 and they feel like they're sitting ducks 825 00:29:40.598 --> 00:29:43.098 because there's only one door. 826 00:29:46.178 --> 00:29:47.458 One thing that we thought about, 827 00:29:47.458 --> 00:29:48.638 and we've talked about, 828 00:29:48.638 --> 00:29:49.905 is how can you protect yourself 829 00:29:49.905 --> 00:29:51.166 if somebody does come in. 830 00:29:51.166 --> 00:29:52.305 Locking your door, if you feel safe, 831 00:29:52.305 --> 00:29:53.555 lock your door. 832 00:29:54.825 --> 00:29:56.165 Also we talked about 833 00:29:56.165 --> 00:30:00.085 taking something like hairspray, bugspray, 834 00:30:00.085 --> 00:30:01.725 anything like that and keeping 835 00:30:01.725 --> 00:30:03.685 it in your desk drawer 836 00:30:03.685 --> 00:30:04.986 because I'll tell ya, these buildings 837 00:30:04.986 --> 00:30:06.285 on this campus are all different. 838 00:30:06.285 --> 00:30:08.645 When Officer Brown and I 839 00:30:08.645 --> 00:30:11.226 came in today, we were walking around the campus center, 840 00:30:11.226 --> 00:30:12.845 and what's the first thing we said? 841 00:30:12.845 --> 00:30:15.545 "Well, what if there was ever an active shooter in here? 842 00:30:15.545 --> 00:30:16.925 "Where would you go?" 843 00:30:16.925 --> 00:30:19.605 So we're getting you thinking, you know? 844 00:30:19.605 --> 00:30:21.945 When you come in the summer, into your workspace, 845 00:30:21.945 --> 00:30:23.945 I'm hoping you're thinking about that, 846 00:30:23.945 --> 00:30:25.245 like, "What if something happened here? 847 00:30:25.245 --> 00:30:26.145 "Where would I hide? 848 00:30:26.145 --> 00:30:27.525 "What would I do?" 849 00:30:27.525 --> 00:30:30.365 But we're never gonna be in an ideal situation 850 00:30:30.365 --> 00:30:32.145 wherever we're at, whether it's a mall, 851 00:30:32.145 --> 00:30:33.525 movie theater, or your workplace, 852 00:30:33.525 --> 00:30:36.385 even in school, you know, 853 00:30:36.385 --> 00:30:41.225 so you really have to start thinking ahead on that. 854 00:30:41.225 --> 00:30:44.225 (indistinct speech) 855 00:31:10.904 --> 00:31:12.644 - Yeah, just call dispatch, let 'em know, 856 00:31:12.644 --> 00:31:13.824 "Hey, I'm in the building. 857 00:31:13.824 --> 00:31:15.064 "I'm in Lilly Hall. 858 00:31:15.064 --> 00:31:16.344 "I'll be here maybe until 11." 859 00:31:16.344 --> 00:31:17.524 Call when you leave. 860 00:31:17.524 --> 00:31:18.524 Call when you get there. 861 00:31:18.524 --> 00:31:19.624 Call when you leave. 862 00:31:19.624 --> 00:31:20.984 If you don't feel comfortable walking, 863 00:31:20.984 --> 00:31:22.384 we'll have an officer come give you... 864 00:31:22.384 --> 00:31:24.084 Not when it's bad out, give you rides, 865 00:31:24.084 --> 00:31:25.404 just because you don't wanna walk 866 00:31:25.404 --> 00:31:26.624 in the bad weather. 867 00:31:26.624 --> 00:31:28.144 I'm really talking about the students, 868 00:31:28.144 --> 00:31:30.284 but, no, we will, we'll give you an escort. 869 00:31:30.284 --> 00:31:32.204 We'll walk, we'll give you a ride, 870 00:31:32.204 --> 00:31:34.224 but really, it's really important to let us know 871 00:31:34.224 --> 00:31:36.244 because we've actually, through the years, 872 00:31:36.244 --> 00:31:38.144 you know, we've had people with medical conditions. 873 00:31:38.144 --> 00:31:40.312 You know, they were working in their office, 874 00:31:40.312 --> 00:31:42.727 something happens, "Hey they haven't called 875 00:31:42.727 --> 00:31:43.560 "to say they're leaving". 876 00:31:43.560 --> 00:31:46.212 We'll send somebody over to check, definitely. 877 00:31:46.212 --> 00:31:47.712 Thank you, that's very good. 878 00:31:47.712 --> 00:31:50.652 - Question back here, yes? 879 00:31:50.652 --> 00:31:53.652 (indistinct speech) 880 00:31:57.532 --> 00:32:00.572 - No, not in Massachusetts. 881 00:32:00.572 --> 00:32:02.452 And you need an FID card for 882 00:32:02.452 --> 00:32:06.452 mace, but that's not allowed, either, on campus. 883 00:32:12.292 --> 00:32:13.692 - [Voiceover] Personally, just wanted to thank you. 884 00:32:13.692 --> 00:32:15.532 I think this is very important, very helpful. 885 00:32:15.532 --> 00:32:18.452 Where I work, we received a one page document, 886 00:32:18.452 --> 00:32:21.352 what to do, and primarily it was run 887 00:32:21.352 --> 00:32:23.912 in a zig-zag motion away from the shooter. 888 00:32:23.912 --> 00:32:25.728 (everyone laughs) 889 00:32:25.728 --> 00:32:26.728 That was it. 890 00:32:27.587 --> 00:32:29.047 I was kinda was like, 891 00:32:29.047 --> 00:32:30.607 it scared us more than anything, 892 00:32:30.607 --> 00:32:32.727 but there was no concerted efforts, 893 00:32:32.727 --> 00:32:34.367 so I just wanted to acknowledge 894 00:32:34.367 --> 00:32:36.368 that a lot of this is very important, 895 00:32:36.368 --> 00:32:39.618 and I also wanted to ask, too though... 896 00:32:41.558 --> 00:32:43.475 I also wanted to ask... 897 00:32:44.679 --> 00:32:45.559 I can talk to her. 898 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.880 - You do, okay, all right, okay. 899 00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:50.460 - [Voiceover] Are efforts being made 900 00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:54.660 not just to educate faculty, but students as well? 901 00:32:54.660 --> 00:32:57.560 Because it seems like what you're saying 902 00:32:57.560 --> 00:32:59.640 in terms of what if something happens, yes, 903 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.460 somebody distract that person, grab something to throw, 904 00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:03.800 those would be the times to get 905 00:33:03.800 --> 00:33:06.120 those smart phones out (indistinct speech), 906 00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:08.220 but you know what I'm saying? 907 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.500 Are there efforts being made - [Sue] You're my outreach. 908 00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:12.000 to educate students about this because... 909 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.800 And I ask that for a couple of different reasons. 910 00:33:14.800 --> 00:33:18.720 I had a student once that I failed for plagiarism, 911 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.803 who I really was very concerned about 912 00:33:23.153 --> 00:33:25.786 his personality and really 913 00:33:25.786 --> 00:33:29.314 more sociopathic sort of thing, and I had to... 914 00:33:29.314 --> 00:33:32.494 It was an effort to try to alarm people 915 00:33:32.494 --> 00:33:35.373 to take action, and eventually it got so... 916 00:33:35.373 --> 00:33:37.314 What I did was I sent an email 917 00:33:37.314 --> 00:33:38.694 and CC'd it to the dean, 918 00:33:38.694 --> 00:33:40.593 and once it was in writing in an email, 919 00:33:40.593 --> 00:33:42.574 then I had security at my door, 920 00:33:42.574 --> 00:33:44.775 and they watched my classes around the clock, 921 00:33:44.775 --> 00:33:46.274 so that sort of thing, 922 00:33:46.274 --> 00:33:48.154 my office and that sort of thing 923 00:33:48.154 --> 00:33:50.594 because I was concerned about him coming back 924 00:33:50.594 --> 00:33:52.234 and doing something, 925 00:33:52.234 --> 00:33:53.614 so I guess what I'm wondering is 926 00:33:53.614 --> 00:33:55.193 what other kind of strategic efforts 927 00:33:55.193 --> 00:33:57.733 are being made about this? 928 00:33:57.733 --> 00:33:59.353 - Actually we've been having some discussions now. 929 00:33:59.353 --> 00:34:01.713 We've been moving around doing the active threat 930 00:34:01.713 --> 00:34:04.874 program for a lot of faculty and staff. 931 00:34:04.874 --> 00:34:07.134 Next, what we're gonna be doing 932 00:34:07.134 --> 00:34:08.894 is trying to get out there to some of the students, 933 00:34:08.894 --> 00:34:10.774 so we wanna include that into 934 00:34:10.774 --> 00:34:13.053 a lot of our outreach programming that we have 935 00:34:13.053 --> 00:34:14.214 'cause it's very important 936 00:34:14.214 --> 00:34:16.214 'cause we have a lot of these students here, 937 00:34:16.214 --> 00:34:17.434 they need to know what to do too 938 00:34:17.434 --> 00:34:19.114 'cause they're asking questions, 939 00:34:19.114 --> 00:34:20.534 "What can we do?" 940 00:34:20.534 --> 00:34:21.873 Some of these students come from 941 00:34:21.873 --> 00:34:23.693 other high schools where they've done 942 00:34:23.693 --> 00:34:27.592 maybe some similar type of trainings already 943 00:34:27.592 --> 00:34:28.814 to prepare for that, 944 00:34:28.814 --> 00:34:30.234 so now we're looking at ways 945 00:34:30.234 --> 00:34:32.573 that we can prepare our communities also, 946 00:34:32.573 --> 00:34:34.254 but, again, as I mentioned before, 947 00:34:34.254 --> 00:34:35.854 you folks are already dealing 948 00:34:35.854 --> 00:34:37.513 with these types of situations, 949 00:34:37.513 --> 00:34:38.894 and one thing that's important... 950 00:34:38.894 --> 00:34:40.194 You asked a question, you said, 951 00:34:40.194 --> 00:34:42.134 "Are students allowed to carry concealed?" 952 00:34:42.134 --> 00:34:43.634 No they're not, 953 00:34:43.634 --> 00:34:44.834 but the thing is, really, 954 00:34:44.834 --> 00:34:45.834 let's think about it. 955 00:34:45.834 --> 00:34:47.114 I know people that don't leave their house 956 00:34:47.114 --> 00:34:48.814 without carrying a concealed weapon. 957 00:34:48.814 --> 00:34:50.614 They walk their dog, they have a little 958 00:34:50.614 --> 00:34:52.714 five-shooter that's tucked away. 959 00:34:52.714 --> 00:34:53.754 You can't even see it. 960 00:34:53.754 --> 00:34:55.034 It's concealed. 961 00:34:55.034 --> 00:34:56.894 People jog through our campuses all the time. 962 00:34:56.894 --> 00:34:58.554 They walk around here all the time. 963 00:34:58.554 --> 00:35:00.454 Yeah it's a beautiful community. 964 00:35:00.454 --> 00:35:02.134 It's safe, we have a lot of patrols. 965 00:35:02.134 --> 00:35:04.214 We wanna keep the community safe, 966 00:35:04.214 --> 00:35:06.454 but really, in reality, 967 00:35:06.454 --> 00:35:08.814 a lot of people carry concealed weapons, 968 00:35:08.814 --> 00:35:10.294 and they're not suppose to be here. 969 00:35:10.294 --> 00:35:13.874 I went on vacation in North Carolina, 970 00:35:13.874 --> 00:35:14.914 and I'm going to places, 971 00:35:14.914 --> 00:35:16.034 I'm not even use to seeing... 972 00:35:16.034 --> 00:35:17.594 You know, you see the "No Smoking" sign, 973 00:35:17.594 --> 00:35:19.534 the big circle with the line through it, 974 00:35:19.534 --> 00:35:20.534 "No smoking". 975 00:35:20.534 --> 00:35:22.674 I'm looking at a big circle, "No guns", 976 00:35:22.674 --> 00:35:24.134 and that's like, to me, 977 00:35:24.134 --> 00:35:25.434 you know, I'm from up here, 978 00:35:25.434 --> 00:35:26.634 like, "No guns?" 979 00:35:26.634 --> 00:35:27.914 Every time I walk somewhere, they've got a sign. 980 00:35:27.914 --> 00:35:29.254 "No guns", I'm like, "Who brings guns 981 00:35:29.254 --> 00:35:30.994 "into an amusement park? 982 00:35:30.994 --> 00:35:32.294 "There's kids everywhere.", 983 00:35:32.294 --> 00:35:33.594 but what does that tell ya? 984 00:35:33.594 --> 00:35:34.834 Every state is different. 985 00:35:34.834 --> 00:35:36.114 So when you think about everyone 986 00:35:36.114 --> 00:35:38.234 that keeps coming here from different states, 987 00:35:38.234 --> 00:35:39.494 and they're coming here, 988 00:35:39.494 --> 00:35:41.794 they don't know our laws in our state. 989 00:35:41.794 --> 00:35:44.614 You know some of these folks probably are packing. 990 00:35:44.614 --> 00:35:46.334 They're probably carrying weapons, 991 00:35:46.334 --> 00:35:50.398 so we know that this happens all the time. 992 00:35:50.398 --> 00:35:52.118 You just don't see it. 993 00:35:52.118 --> 00:35:53.557 You'll be surprised at the people 994 00:35:53.557 --> 00:35:55.157 that you deal with that come see you 995 00:35:55.157 --> 00:35:56.518 and meet you that probably got something 996 00:35:56.518 --> 00:35:58.338 in their purse for safety. 997 00:35:58.338 --> 00:35:59.758 Now, I think everybody should know 998 00:35:59.758 --> 00:36:00.998 you shouldn't be bringing weapons 999 00:36:00.998 --> 00:36:02.698 to a college campus, right? 1000 00:36:02.698 --> 00:36:04.298 But people do. 1001 00:36:04.298 --> 00:36:05.898 People walk through the malls with it. 1002 00:36:05.898 --> 00:36:07.784 We know that it does happen. 1003 00:36:07.784 --> 00:36:08.617 You have a question? 1004 00:36:08.617 --> 00:36:10.608 - [Voiceover] I'm from Vermont, originally. 1005 00:36:10.608 --> 00:36:13.168 It's the only state where you don't need 1006 00:36:13.168 --> 00:36:14.888 to have a permit, and even a non-resident 1007 00:36:14.888 --> 00:36:16.568 can conceal and carry. 1008 00:36:16.568 --> 00:36:19.007 It's a little different than Massachusetts. 1009 00:36:19.007 --> 00:36:21.367 It's a simple question, probably obvious. 1010 00:36:21.367 --> 00:36:24.062 Since it's not permissible to conceal and carry, 1011 00:36:24.062 --> 00:36:28.973 I assume it's not permissible to open carry, either. 1012 00:36:28.973 --> 00:36:29.806 - Right. 1013 00:36:30.937 --> 00:36:33.327 (laughs) 1014 00:36:33.327 --> 00:36:35.226 You're right, it's... 1015 00:36:35.226 --> 00:36:36.767 Yep. 1016 00:36:36.767 --> 00:36:38.987 Question in the back? 1017 00:36:38.987 --> 00:36:41.987 (indistinct speech) 1018 00:36:47.607 --> 00:36:49.067 - Yep, 1019 00:36:49.067 --> 00:36:51.195 yep, it's right on the paper there. 1020 00:36:51.195 --> 00:36:54.855 (indistinct speech) 1021 00:36:54.855 --> 00:36:56.688 - Yes, go ahead, here. 1022 00:36:57.755 --> 00:37:00.215 - I mean, put our campus police number in, 1023 00:37:00.215 --> 00:37:01.634 but put 911 in. 1024 00:37:01.634 --> 00:37:03.454 911 that's the number to call 1025 00:37:03.454 --> 00:37:04.715 'cause what's gonna happen is 1026 00:37:04.715 --> 00:37:06.475 you call from the Smith College Campus. 1027 00:37:06.475 --> 00:37:08.115 We've got the state police barracks 1028 00:37:08.115 --> 00:37:09.235 right up the road. 1029 00:37:09.235 --> 00:37:12.698 They've got a central dispatch up there. 1030 00:37:12.698 --> 00:37:14.335 Their response is gonna be quick. 1031 00:37:14.335 --> 00:37:15.395 I can guarantee it. 1032 00:37:15.395 --> 00:37:17.095 Everybody will be coming if there's 1033 00:37:17.095 --> 00:37:19.882 any type of a threat here at Smith College. 1034 00:37:19.882 --> 00:37:21.006 Oh, go ahead. 1035 00:37:21.006 --> 00:37:23.926 (indistinct speech) 1036 00:37:23.926 --> 00:37:25.705 Campus phone. 1037 00:37:25.705 --> 00:37:28.710 Correct, and if there's some type of a threat, 1038 00:37:28.710 --> 00:37:30.205 a lot of the phones... 1039 00:37:30.205 --> 00:37:32.945 No, I'm thinking is it students? 1040 00:37:32.945 --> 00:37:34.565 You might wanna check your phone though. 1041 00:37:34.565 --> 00:37:36.745 Everybody will be knocking their phone off the hook. 1042 00:37:36.745 --> 00:37:39.225 As far as students, check your phones. 1043 00:37:39.225 --> 00:37:43.365 I'm not sure that it works on the faculty 1044 00:37:43.365 --> 00:37:44.905 and staff phones, but check it out. 1045 00:37:44.905 --> 00:37:47.565 With the students we do have an emergency, 1046 00:37:47.565 --> 00:37:49.145 the 800 number. 1047 00:37:49.145 --> 00:37:50.525 If that phone gets knocked off the hook, 1048 00:37:50.525 --> 00:37:53.305 it immediately comes into our dispatch. 1049 00:37:53.305 --> 00:37:56.205 So I don't want y'all going knocking phones off, 1050 00:37:56.205 --> 00:37:57.825 but you might want... 1051 00:37:57.825 --> 00:38:00.085 That's a good thing that I'm gonna check on. 1052 00:38:00.085 --> 00:38:02.085 I just wanna say on the flip side 1053 00:38:02.085 --> 00:38:03.705 of what you were talking about too, 1054 00:38:03.705 --> 00:38:06.165 we need to be more aware of our surroundings, 1055 00:38:06.165 --> 00:38:08.365 and I always say, when you get that hair 1056 00:38:08.365 --> 00:38:09.565 that goes up on the back of your neck, 1057 00:38:09.565 --> 00:38:11.825 or you get that horrible feeling in your stomach 1058 00:38:11.825 --> 00:38:15.486 that something's not right, call us. 1059 00:38:15.486 --> 00:38:16.686 That's why we're here. 1060 00:38:16.686 --> 00:38:18.366 That's why we get paid. 1061 00:38:18.366 --> 00:38:19.965 We're here, that's what we're here for. 1062 00:38:19.965 --> 00:38:21.286 A lot of people go, "Well 1063 00:38:21.286 --> 00:38:22.966 "I saw that about an hour ago, 1064 00:38:22.966 --> 00:38:25.045 "but I didn't think it was anything." 1065 00:38:25.045 --> 00:38:26.326 You know, or you just get that feeling. 1066 00:38:26.326 --> 00:38:27.386 I always said that. 1067 00:38:27.386 --> 00:38:28.825 I get the feeling, even in my job. 1068 00:38:28.825 --> 00:38:30.225 I get that feeling in my gut. 1069 00:38:30.225 --> 00:38:31.366 I get the hair goes up, and I go, 1070 00:38:31.366 --> 00:38:33.066 "Something's not right." 1071 00:38:33.066 --> 00:38:35.816 Call, a lot of people won't call. 1072 00:38:36.686 --> 00:38:38.046 Yes? 1073 00:38:38.046 --> 00:38:41.046 (indistinct speech) 1074 00:38:48.385 --> 00:38:51.126 I think it goes right to our. 1075 00:38:51.126 --> 00:38:52.185 - That's gonna go to 1076 00:38:52.185 --> 00:38:54.286 basically a state police barrack, 1077 00:38:54.286 --> 00:38:56.106 and pretty much, you're gonna be speaking 1078 00:38:56.106 --> 00:38:57.326 to one of the troopers, and they're 1079 00:38:57.326 --> 00:38:58.605 gonna ask you where you're at. 1080 00:38:58.605 --> 00:38:59.726 They're gonna ask you some information, 1081 00:38:59.726 --> 00:39:01.986 and then they'll redirect the call. 1082 00:39:01.986 --> 00:39:03.486 Okay, so even if you call 911, 1083 00:39:03.486 --> 00:39:04.706 they're gonna pick up. 1084 00:39:04.706 --> 00:39:05.866 Someone's gonna pick up. 1085 00:39:05.866 --> 00:39:07.206 Just let 'em know where you're at, 1086 00:39:07.206 --> 00:39:09.506 and then they'll just redirect that call. 1087 00:39:09.506 --> 00:39:11.205 If you're calling an active threat like that, 1088 00:39:11.205 --> 00:39:13.105 they're definitely gonna redirect those calls, 1089 00:39:13.105 --> 00:39:15.745 so those authorities gonna be on their way, 1090 00:39:15.745 --> 00:39:17.146 and they'll be contacting us, 1091 00:39:17.146 --> 00:39:18.846 so we'll know what's going on, 1092 00:39:18.846 --> 00:39:20.206 so you're gonna have a lot of folks 1093 00:39:20.206 --> 00:39:23.005 that's gonna be arriving. 1094 00:39:23.005 --> 00:39:26.005 (indistinct speech) 1095 00:39:34.685 --> 00:39:36.435 - Campus police, yes. 1096 00:39:37.746 --> 00:39:39.326 Call us, I mean, we have officers out there. 1097 00:39:39.326 --> 00:39:43.026 Believe me, they'll get there within a minute or less. 1098 00:39:43.026 --> 00:39:45.526 'Cause the campus is so small, 1099 00:39:46.386 --> 00:39:48.926 and then, you know, we'll have officers there. 1100 00:39:48.926 --> 00:39:51.366 If it's something more than we can handle, 1101 00:39:51.366 --> 00:39:53.386 like a threat that a fire arm 1102 00:39:53.386 --> 00:39:55.486 or a knife or something's involved, 1103 00:39:55.486 --> 00:39:57.446 obviously, we'll call the local police, 1104 00:39:57.446 --> 00:39:58.926 but make sure that you call, 1105 00:39:58.926 --> 00:40:00.186 and think of these outs 1106 00:40:00.186 --> 00:40:01.706 with something like that happens. 1107 00:40:01.706 --> 00:40:03.186 (indistinct speech) 1108 00:40:03.186 --> 00:40:04.566 I'm gonna keep pushing that. 1109 00:40:04.566 --> 00:40:06.316 - Let me add to that. 1110 00:40:07.346 --> 00:40:09.386 Also, if you know that you're gonna be 1111 00:40:09.386 --> 00:40:10.606 meeting with someone, 1112 00:40:10.606 --> 00:40:13.106 and things could become hairy, 1113 00:40:14.004 --> 00:40:16.664 again, let us know ahead of time 1114 00:40:16.664 --> 00:40:17.924 when they're coming. 1115 00:40:17.924 --> 00:40:19.085 Give us a heads up, 1116 00:40:19.085 --> 00:40:20.725 so if our department knows that you need 1117 00:40:20.725 --> 00:40:21.825 us to be on standby, 1118 00:40:21.825 --> 00:40:23.424 we'll have an officer on standby. 1119 00:40:23.424 --> 00:40:24.945 If you need us to be in the next room, 1120 00:40:24.945 --> 00:40:26.545 just in case something happens, 1121 00:40:26.545 --> 00:40:27.505 let us know. 1122 00:40:27.505 --> 00:40:29.545 Like I said, these things happen all the time. 1123 00:40:29.545 --> 00:40:30.805 More than you know. 1124 00:40:30.805 --> 00:40:33.024 So when we started actually doing the active threat 1125 00:40:33.024 --> 00:40:35.944 presentations, and we started hearing from folks, 1126 00:40:35.944 --> 00:40:38.225 we were like, "We're doing the active threat presentation, 1127 00:40:38.225 --> 00:40:39.964 "but people have been dealing with these situations 1128 00:40:39.964 --> 00:40:41.884 "for how long?" 1129 00:40:41.884 --> 00:40:44.604 So at any moment, these things could explode, 1130 00:40:44.604 --> 00:40:46.065 at any single moment. 1131 00:40:46.065 --> 00:40:47.745 Again, as I mentioned before, 1132 00:40:47.745 --> 00:40:49.404 we don't know who's carrying anything, 1133 00:40:49.404 --> 00:40:51.225 and we also know that it doesn't 1134 00:40:51.225 --> 00:40:52.825 have to be a firearm. 1135 00:40:52.825 --> 00:40:55.205 We're finding out someone's going on 1136 00:40:55.205 --> 00:40:57.085 an attack with a knife, 1137 00:40:57.085 --> 00:40:59.565 a stabbing spree, running through campus. 1138 00:40:59.565 --> 00:41:00.845 We've seen that. 1139 00:41:00.845 --> 00:41:02.225 We've seen some videos, 1140 00:41:02.225 --> 00:41:03.984 someone in the hospital, taking the railing 1141 00:41:03.984 --> 00:41:06.204 off the wall, that's about six feet long, 1142 00:41:06.204 --> 00:41:08.105 and attacking nurses through the hospital, 1143 00:41:08.105 --> 00:41:09.765 and you're seeing in on camera. 1144 00:41:09.765 --> 00:41:10.804 We're seeing it, 1145 00:41:10.804 --> 00:41:11.804 so this active threat can happen 1146 00:41:11.804 --> 00:41:14.384 at any given time, and no one's aware of it, 1147 00:41:14.384 --> 00:41:16.624 so those signs, those preindicators 1148 00:41:16.624 --> 00:41:19.764 that we all see, as you mentioned before, 1149 00:41:19.764 --> 00:41:21.265 there was preindicators, 1150 00:41:21.265 --> 00:41:22.604 those are the things. 1151 00:41:22.604 --> 00:41:23.864 So maybe you need to have some type 1152 00:41:23.864 --> 00:41:25.444 of team in your area, 1153 00:41:25.444 --> 00:41:26.844 so if there's things going on, 1154 00:41:26.844 --> 00:41:28.844 you have these different preindicators. 1155 00:41:28.844 --> 00:41:30.984 Maybe you need to come together with your team 1156 00:41:30.984 --> 00:41:33.184 as a group and start talking about things. 1157 00:41:33.184 --> 00:41:34.184 Have a plan in place 1158 00:41:34.184 --> 00:41:35.784 to kind of deal with that. 1159 00:41:35.784 --> 00:41:37.944 If you're noticing something that's not right, 1160 00:41:37.944 --> 00:41:39.784 you've been dealing with certain things. 1161 00:41:39.784 --> 00:41:41.304 The hair stands up on the back of your neck, 1162 00:41:41.304 --> 00:41:43.124 you need to sit down with some of your colleagues, 1163 00:41:43.124 --> 00:41:44.864 your staff, and talk about that. 1164 00:41:44.864 --> 00:41:46.904 Maybe you need to form one of those teams 1165 00:41:46.904 --> 00:41:48.924 in your area, if you don't have one 1166 00:41:48.924 --> 00:41:51.664 because now, if that individual is coming in, 1167 00:41:51.664 --> 00:41:53.304 and they're on alert with you, 1168 00:41:53.304 --> 00:41:55.524 maybe you need to let everyone else know 1169 00:41:55.524 --> 00:41:57.504 because now if that person comes into your place, 1170 00:41:57.504 --> 00:42:00.384 you know that there's some dangerous things 1171 00:42:00.384 --> 00:42:03.464 that's going on, these preindicators existing, 1172 00:42:03.464 --> 00:42:05.104 and you never shared it with your colleagues, 1173 00:42:05.104 --> 00:42:06.264 and now this person comes in, 1174 00:42:06.264 --> 00:42:07.984 you put everybody in jeopardy 1175 00:42:07.984 --> 00:42:09.844 'cause we're all involved right? 1176 00:42:09.844 --> 00:42:11.404 So now we start thinking about a plan. 1177 00:42:11.404 --> 00:42:12.444 It's always like a plan. 1178 00:42:12.444 --> 00:42:14.024 Let's put a plan in place. 1179 00:42:14.024 --> 00:42:15.724 Now we have to start thinking about these things. 1180 00:42:15.724 --> 00:42:17.204 Every time I turn on the news, 1181 00:42:17.204 --> 00:42:19.644 it's always something. 1182 00:42:19.644 --> 00:42:21.824 It's ridiculous, so we have to start thinking, 1183 00:42:21.824 --> 00:42:24.044 and we can't be one of these places that says, 1184 00:42:24.044 --> 00:42:25.924 "Okay, it only happens over here. 1185 00:42:25.924 --> 00:42:27.004 "It hasn't happened here." 1186 00:42:27.004 --> 00:42:28.444 Someone just said that to me the other day, 1187 00:42:28.444 --> 00:42:29.704 "very safe out here. 1188 00:42:29.704 --> 00:42:30.824 "I don't know in this area, 1189 00:42:30.824 --> 00:42:32.804 "if you really need these type of things." 1190 00:42:32.804 --> 00:42:35.384 You know, did they think that in Sandy Hook? 1191 00:42:35.384 --> 00:42:37.064 I bet you nobody ever thought 1192 00:42:37.064 --> 00:42:38.724 something
