Because it’s a top priority here at Longwood, we’re always looking for ways to be proactive when it comes to your student’s safety.
An email went out to students today letting them know about a training opportunity where they can learn more about how to be safe in different situations.
This free Code Red training is being offered by the Longwood Police Department and Office of Emergency Management, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The training will cover what steps to take in an active threat situation and severe weather emergencies.
A total of 12 sessions will be offered here on campus: six each on Monday, Jan. 30, and Tuesday, Jan. 31.
The training will last approximately 90 minutes and will be led by LUPD staff, Emergency Management Coordinator Tracie Giles ’94 and Jamie Finney ’98, a supervisory protective security advisor for the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Students will be welcomed into each session on a first-come, first-served basis. Sessions are limited to 25 participants each.
If you or your student has questions about the Code Red training, you can email Tracie Giles, emergency management coordinator, at police@longwood.edu.
