Description: Medical and Other Emergencies

Atlantic Cape Community College Security personnel are all trained in first aid, CPR and general emergency procedures. In addition, the College offers limited medical services through the College Health Services Office. Nurse's hours are limited and subject to change.

It is the policy of Atlantic Cape Community College to assist in medical emergencies by comforting, stabilizing and assisting the injured party, until medical professionals can arrive or the victim can be transported. All other emergencies (fire, bomb threat, civil disorder, etc.) shall be handled by the Security Department.

It is not the policy of the Security Department to provide medical transport on a regular basis. Under normal circumstance, medical transport shall be via ambulance, College nurse or victim's designee. Security may provide transport at their own discretion, providing there is more than one officer on duty. If transportation is provided by Security, the patient is responsible for arranging return transportation.
