午夜av

All tenants and staff of the residence are responsible for the safety and security of the building. If a tenant notices any suspicious or irregular behaviour inside or around the outside of the residence, they should report it to the residence life staff on duty.

Security cameras monitor traffic within the building 24 hours a day. Interference or tampering with security equipment, or tampering with or misusing security equipment, is strictly forbidden. This includes (but is not limited to):

• moving a security camera from its original position, placement or viewing angle without prior permission
• covering a security camera or placing an object in front of a security camera which will blind the camera or defeat its purpose
• the turning out or dimming of any electrical light fixtures in the common areas, hallways and stairways is strictly forbidden

You can help keep the residence building secure by:

• Never propping open doors. Popping open doors that lead into the building compromises the safety and security of everyone in the building. Do not prop open the door from the hallway into your room, either. Doing so compromises your security and the security of your roommates as well.
• Never allowing strangers to follow you into the residence
• Reporting anyone who looks suspicious to staff
• Keeping your room locked at all times
• Never leaving your valuable items or large amounts of cash in open view. 午夜av and the residence staff are not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen property.
• Reporting theft or loss of property to staff immediately

Security Staff

Security work out of the main lobby every day from 8 p.m. – 4 a.m. Security and RLCs will check the building regularly to ensure that entrances and the buildings are secure and can respond quickly to emergency situations within the residence.

Law Enforcement

In situations where criminal activity is alleged to have taken place in residence, or when it is taking place in residence, the accommodations manager may ask the Charlottetown City Police into the residence to investigate the matter.

The residence management team, on behalf of the college, reserves the right to prosecute cases in either a criminal court of law or through the college’s student misconduct procedure, or both at the same time. The choice remains with the accommodations manager or an appointed designate. Confidential statements completed by students may be provided to the Charlottetown Police upon request.

Campus Lock-Down

A lock-down is a way to ensure that students and staff are as safe as possible in the event of a weapons emergency such as the presence of an armed intruder on the campus. It occurs when it may not be safe for you to leave the building or area you are presently in.

Weapons emergencies include situations where shots have been fired; an armed intruder has been spotted; an armed intruder has caused harm to someone or is threatening to cause harm to someone; an individual has a weapon; or you have reason to believe that they have a weapon.

In all of these situations, do not try to evacuate, as you may be putting yourself in danger.

HOW TO INITIATE A LOCK-DOWN

If you see someone behaving in a way that causes you to suspect that they have a weapon or may be concealing a weapon:

1. Remain calm and if possible, move to a safe area
2. Call 9-1-1 immediately, using a cell phone or a cordless phone if possible
3. Advise the operator of the threat

DESIGNATED SAFE AREAS
HOW TO SECURE AN AREA

If you cannot safely get to a designated safe area, you need to make your location as safe as possible:

• Gather together as many people as you can within your immediate area;
• Wherever you are at the time of the lock-down is probably the safest place to remain;
• If you are in a common area such as a hallway or open space, find a classroom or office, preferably with computer or phone access;
• Lock and/or barricade the door if possible;
• Make the room or area you are in appear unoccupied;
• Turn off lights or maintain minimal lighting;
• Close window blinds;
• Turn off cell phone ringers;
• Remain calm, and help others to remain quiet and out of sight;
• Take cover;
• Select one person in your group to communicate any threat or injury and your location to 9-1-1.

Try to remain calm and quiet, and wait for the “all clear” message.

Fire Regulations

Interference with or misuse of fire protection equipment, including smoke detectors, is strictly forbidden. Tampering with fire prevention equipment of any kind is an offense under the Criminal Code of Canada and will result in a student’s immediate eviction from residence and a recommendation for suspension from the college. Charges may be laid. Tampering includes disconnection of a smoke detector, or cov- ering it with any material in an attempt to limit its function. Residents are required to sign a Fire Safety Policy prior to moving in.

Students who cause fires can expect disciplinary action. Students who cause false fire alarms (excluding tampering/ vandalism) will be fined $200, and can expect disciplinary action. When an illegal or wrong act results in an alarm, the same discipline applies. Examples of this are drug use, using firecrackers, cooking in rooms where electrical appliances are forbidden and smoking in non- smoking areas.

If you see or smell fire or smoke, don’t panic! The building is equipped with fire extinguishers and alarms which are well maintained and tested regularly.

In case of fire in your room:

• Close the door of the room where the fire is
• Leave the room
• Close the door between the room and the corridor
• Sound the nearest internal fire alarm
• Evacuate
• Call 911

If you discover a fire anywhere in the building:

• Ring the nearest internal fire alarm
• Alert everyone in the area
• Evacuate
• Call 9-1-1

At the sound of the alarm:

• Remain calm
• Close windows
• Put on appropriate clothing
• Leave lights on
• Feel the door for heat, if cool, open door slowly
• Leave door closed but unlocked
• Wake tenants in adjacent rooms
• Evacuate by exit routes outlined on the back of your door
• Use an alternate exit if you encounter heat or smoke
• Re-enter the building only when it is deemed safe by security

If you cannot leave your room:

• Keep door closed and unlocked
• Call the front desk and let them know where you are
• Signal to people outside through your window
• Hang out a sheet or towel
• Seal cracks in door with towels or sheets
• Stay low to the floor
• Await instructions

EVACUATION
You and your visitors or guests must evacuate each time the fire alarm annunciation broadcasts a second-stage alarm. If you refuse or fail to evacuate during a second-stage fire alarm you will face disci- plinary action such as a misconduct notice. During an alarm, you are required to leave the building com- pletely and, once outside, stand away from doorways and fire lanes. You will not be allowed to re-enter the building until the all clear signal has been given by the fire department. You must cooperate with instructions provided by the staff.

Medical Emergency

In case of emergency, tenants should dial 9-1-1 first and if capable, the front desk:

Glendenning Hall: 902-367-7702
Cumberland Residence: 902-367-3770.

Any student with particular health problems, allergies, medical conditions, etc., is requested to identify them to the accommodations manager. This will help us to deal effectively with any situations that might arise.
