Incident Management When considering the safety of school staff and students during a law enforcement event which has implications for school operations, law enforcement officials should share relevant information and offer appropriate guidance. The principal and or designee has the authority to render a decision to: ● Evacuate ● Secure the Building ● Lockdown or; ● Shelter in Place during an EXTERNAL law enforcement or emergency event impacting school operations. Whenever possible, the principal should consult with law enforcement prior to making the decision. The following should be considered when a decision must be rendered: ● The reported incident's proximity to the school grounds. ● The likelihood that the incident could impact students or staff safety in or around school property. ● The probability that people involved in the event would seek refuge or concealment from law enforcement on school property. ● The public safety response of resources could prevent normal egress of school transportation vehicles, thus presenting a hazard to school children leaving school property (i.e., established perimeters, roadblocks, and checkpoints restrict normal traffic flow around school property). ● The action supports an active criminal investigation, to interview witnesses or coordinate additional security to maintain order. During such an event, law enforcement officials will provide notice to that affected school’s administrative staff as soon as possible and practical. In the event of an active violent incident in schools, school decision makers may elect to “Run (Evacuate), “Hide”, (Lockdown) or “Fight” (defend themselves accordingly to survive) as supported by the Department of Homeland Security. Should such a situation arise, law enforcement officials should recognize a schools’ varied responses in dynamic and individual decision-making where staff and students may elect to respond differently thus creating significant variations in the school population’s response. Law enforcement should make every effort to safeguard and protect lives while working to engage and subdue the violent actor. In all criminal matters, law enforcement officials assume ownership of the school and will act in accordance with associated polices and protocols in place to respond to an active violent incident in a school. Law enforcement as soon as practical will establish a “unified command” in support of the National Incident Management System for Incident Command. As soon as is practical, the school administrator, designee and safety and security will support the Command Structure and remain until the event is concluded. Law enforcement officials will assume all responsibility for issuing notifications related to any criminal matter and will provide basic information about the event, to include information about suspect descriptions, timeframe of the incident, expected duration of the event and how it will affect school staff and children as soon as practical. School Administrators will work with LCPS Public Information in the issuance of all messages related to such matters. Event Notification Procedure Event notification will occur in the following manner; − Law enforcement dispatch and the LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) 703/779-8833 − On-duty Community Resource or SRO supervisor − SROs, School Administration Directors, Safety and Security − Supervisor(s) controlling the incident and school administration − Law enforcement responding to the incident and school administration − Other communication as law enforcement and school administration deem necessary given the circumstances A law enforcement supervisor, i.e., Incident Commander, will be responsible for maintaining effective communication with the relevant school staff during the event. This includes providing updates about the expected duration of the event, further protective postures the school may need to implement, and other information the incident commander determines is pertinent for the school staff. The incident commander through unified command will notify the school’s representatives as soon as possible after the event has concluded or when the event has evolved to a point where students and staff are no longer at risk, thus allowing schools staff to return to normal operating protocols.
