“I was not aware of the overall institution safety plan.”
“Other than calmly exit the building, I don’t know if they
had a plan.”

Comments on Armed Security/Police on Campuses
“There should be armed security personnel. They don't have to be cops.”
“I'm ambivalent. I can see the pluses and minuses of both sides of the argument.”
“Depends. I went to a small school in a big city and a big school in a rough, smaller
city. The later I would be okay with if they had guns. The former I was happy that they
did not. I think it depends on the size of the campus population, are the armed
security like police to a large institution.”
“I go to a city school with an open campus so the actual police force is easily
accessible and often driving through campus. So essentially while the campus police
aren’t armed there are armed police in the area and on campus usually.”

Comments on Institutional Active Shooter Protocols
“At the time, there was an alert via text or email we would
receive about any threats on campus but I was unaware of
other procedures once an alert went out.”
“I don't think they had one then.”
“We didn't have much in place back when. Times were simpler.
But we did have campus police which was great.”
