9.1 Role of Security Department

In most emergency situations, the first call should be made to the Security Main Gate, which is staffed 24/7 at (718) 405-3434.  Although this may not be one’s first instinct, this call will activate many emergency procedures thereby assuring that assistance will arrive promptly and without unnecessary delays.  In case of life-threatening emergency, however, please call 9-911 prior to calling the Security Main Gate, but then, immediately call the Security Main Gate to alert them that you have contacted 9-911.

Once on the scene, the Security Department is responsible for and authorized to initiate crowd control, coordinate emergency services’ responses, assist or perform first aid, direct chain of command contacts, and secure the appropriate areas/offices. Failure to comply with their directives is a serious violation of College policy and will result in disciplinary action.
