    Tuesday, January 22, 2019 | By

    (From The Brock News, Tuesday, January 22, 2019)

    Campus Security and the Niagara Regional Police are partnering to perform a shelter-in-place lockdown training drill at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts Wednesday morning.

    This is the first lockdown exercise ever held at the downtown arts school and is the culmination of months of education and training around what students at the Walker School should do in a shelter-in-place situation.

    The exercise, which has previously been done at Brock’s Hamilton campus, will get underway at 11 a.m. Wednesday and is expected to last about 30 minutes. Those at the downtown campus should expect to hear audible messages and see instructions on digital signs leading up to and during the exercise.

    (From The Brock News, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018)

    Would you know what to do if there was an active threat or shooter on campus?

    It’s a scenario most people could never imagine happening at Brock University, but one that Campus Security wants to ensure the community is prepared for.

    Campus Security at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) will be holding two information sessions for staff, instructors, faculty and students of the School this month to discuss emergency preparedness in an active attacker situation.

    Rick Fraser, Brock’s Manager, Emergency Management and Life Safety, will be presenting material on the active attacker protocol that has been adopted at the University during these sessions.

    The information and training sessions will take place in MWS 156 on:

    • Thursday, Nov. 8 from 8 to 9 a.m.
    • Friday, Nov. 16 from 11 a.m. to noon

    No registration is required, but the sessions are currently limited to those who study or work at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, due to space limitations.

    For more information on the MIWSFPA sessions, contact Rick Tollar, Supervisor, Campus Security Services, at 905-688-5550 x 6399.

    Information on the active attacker protocol adopted at Brock University is available on the Campus Security website.
