Immediate Action: Responding staff member calls UCPD/CPD then calls Pro-Staff on-call and Hall Director of the community (if different)

Secondary Action: Pro-Staff on-call will notify Assistant Dean of Students and start making their way to the scene and will stay through the duration of the incident. The Assistant Dean of Students will contact the Dean of Students to inform them of the incident.

Third Action: Whichever CIA staff on scene with most authority is there first, will begin to triage the situation:

●     Crowd control; depending on location may need to shut down elevator(s) and limit students from accessing floor/their rooms and/or leaving their rooms if on floor

●     Defer to UCPD/CPD for direction

●     Support RA on-site

●     Support affected students and offer support

●     Be sure nothing is touched or removed from scene

●     Work with the affected community’s RA staff to find RA coverage for rest of the shift, so responding RAs do not have to be on-call after the incident concludes

●     Assess with is the most discreet way to exit the community so that the coroner can be told how to exit the building with the deceased individual

●     Begin note taking for report writing. Be observant of:

○     Who was notified first?

○     Location?

○     Involved parties?

Once law enforcement has left the scene, the Dean of Students will begin the Student Death Protocol.

Reporting Action: Pro-Staff will write an Incident Report and CARE Reports for directly impacted parties (including the responding RA(s)).

What to Expect:

Police will likely arrive first, they will declare the situation a crime scene and contain everything until a coroner arrives. Once the coroner arrives, it can be pronounced as no longer being a crime scene and they will begin documenting the scene. Once they have concluded that process they will remove the deceased from the community.
