Emergency Plan In the Event of Active Shooting or Hostage Incidents on the John Jay Campus

If there is a report of a shooting in the building you have three options:

•          If communication is available, always dial 911. It is also crucial to notify
           Public Safety at x8888 if using a college phone, or call (212) 237-8888
           from an outside phone.
•          Run to a safe location if it is advisable to do so.
•          Hide in a room and lock the door. Shut off the interior lights and silence your cell phones. Only exit when                the police advise you to do so.
•          Fight the active shooter as a last resort. Use anything available to fight the shooter from fire
           extinguishers to chairs.
•          Once you evacuate from the building follow the instructions of the police or first responders.
•          Exit the building with your hands up in the air and your fingers spread.
•          If you are injured notify the first responders immediately.

•          Hook it to the latch at top of window covering the glass completely.
•          Silence your phones (Do not put on Vibrate)
•          Barricade the door and remain silent
•          Wait for instructions from Public Safety/NYPD
