crime report - Argosy University

DEFINITION OF A CRISIS/EMERGENCY LEVELS
For the purposes of this plan there are three types of crisis. They are defined below. Type #1
does not involve the coordination of the Crisis Management Groups while Types #2 and #3 will
require their coordination.
Any member of Argosy University’s faculty or staff is authorized to make a decision to call 911.
When in doubt, it is the campus’s policy to err on the side of caution. After reporting an incident
to the 911 operator, the caller should contact a member of the CMT and then as the situation
merits, EDMC legal council and department managers.
The President or his/her designate will assess the elements of the crisis and determine what
level of crisis faces Argosy University, Inland Empire based on the following criteria:
Type 1 – Minor Emergency
This is a minor department or building crisis that can be resolved with existing campus
resources or limited help. A Type #1 crisis is usually a one-dimensional event that has a limited
duration and has little or no impact on Argosy University, Inland Empire personnel or operations.
Type 2 – Major Emergency
This is a major incident that involves more than one department or building, and impacts sizable
portions of the campus community. A Type #2 crisis may be a single or a multi-hazard situation,
and often requires considerable coordination with external jurisdictions. Type #2 emergencies
also include imminent events on campus or in the general community that may develop into a
major campus crisis or a full disaster.
Type 3 – Disaster
This is a catastrophic emergency event involving the entire campus and surrounding
community. Immediate resolution of the disaster, which is usually multi-hazard, is beyond the
emergency response capabilities of campus and local resources.
