Security, Safety Paramount On School, College Campuses
Recently, the news has been saturated with reports of threats of violence, lockdowns and, in some places, active shooters. “Cayuga Community College has a comprehensive, all-hazard emergency plan in place to respond to potential threats on our Auburn or Fulton campuses. We’re constantly reviewing and updating that plan,” Cayuga Community College President Brian Durant told Oswego County Today. SUNY Oswego has a plan in place, as does each state-operated SUNY campus. They must have an “All-Hazards” Emergency Response Plan that outlines how the campus intends to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from emergencies that occur on campus or affect the campus, according to Wayne Westervelt, chief communication officer.
