Overview

Quincy College is committed to the safety of all students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campuses. The College has developed this emergency response guide as a reference to the College community in the event of an emergency to protect life and property, minimize injury and damage, restore essential operations and services, and provide communication in a timely manner.

Reporting an Incident

Incidents must be immediately reported by phone to the Security Office at (857) 225-1934. Also, you must submit an Incident Report even though a call has been made, and must be submitted to the Resource Office within one working day.

Security Officer Emergency Phone Numbers

  • Quincy Campus Security Officer Phone Number: (857) 225 – 1934
  • Plymouth Campus Security Officer Phone Number: (617) 483 – 3723

Timely Warning Notification

In the event that a situation deemed as an ongoing threat to the College community arises on or off campus, a campus wide “timely warning” notification will be issued by Quincy College. The notification will be issued through the College’s mass notification system and on the College’s website.

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the Vice President of Operations, by phone at (617) 984-1798, or in person at the Security Office on the 3rd Floor of President’s Place. On the Plymouth Campus, report to the Security officer at the front desk or call (617) 483-3723.

Emergency Alerts and Mass Notification System

The mass notification system at Quincy College will send voice, text, and email messages to provide information to the College community. This can be especially useful during severe weather events, school closings, and other emergency situations that the community needs to be aware of immediately. In addition, emergency notifications are posted on television monitors on at both campuses and on the College website.

Crisis Team

The Quincy College Crisis Team is responsible for coordinating, reviewing, updating, and implementing the College’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP). A designated core group of members handle the day-to-day planning, management, and implementation of the plan. The plan is supported by a larger policy team and designated committees.

In the event of an emergency, coordination and organization of all operations at the College shall be directed by the President and the core members of the Crisis Team. The core Crisis Team members, with support from the policy team as needed, implement the strategy and planning of the response; initiate and maintain communication with the College community; collaborate with field personnel and professional emergency response services; issue instructions to particular departments and units; and monitor progress throughout the emergency.

Notify

  • Call local police/911 if immediate need is present
  • Always notify a Security Officer
  • Notify a faculty member/supervisor if time permits and it is safe to do so

Take Action

  • A Security Officer will respond to the incident and attempt to bring the matter under control if it is safe to do so
  • If notifying local police, ask for instructions as to what to say/do
  • Evacuation or shelter in place options may need to be considered depending on the nature and extent of the threat. Use best judgment and follow instructions if given from a Security Officer, Crisis Team member, the mass notification system, or local authorities
  • If a threat is imminent and it is not safe to evacuate the area, find a safe place to shelter out of the immediate vicinity of the incident
  • If it is safe to vacate the area, use the nearest exit and move quickly and calmly. Follow egress routes to exit your floor and/or building
