If an instructor needs an officer for any other reason, a TMCC DPS officer can be reached at the Reno Police Department. The red house phones can be used to contact the TMCC Police Department through the switchboard when it is staffed. DPS does not staff the red phones. The Department of Public Safety Officers can respond to crimes traffic accidents, assist in disputes, provide escorts to vehicles, perform crime prevention inspections or instruction, assist with fires or hazardous material spills, perform first-aid, and provide general assistance to the TMCC community. Consult the booklet for information regarding earthquake, explosion, fire, power outage, chemical and radiation spills, evacuation of the disabled, first aid, and bomb threats.
All instructors are responsible for informing their classes of emergency evacuation procedures.
You will be asked to certify that you have reviewed emergency procedures with your students. On the TMCC campus, an evacuation plan is posted in each classroom. The evening supervisors for the off-campus centers will furnish a similar plan for their locations. Any questions regarding the evacuation plan should be referred to your director or the building coordinator. TMCC takes bomb threats seriously because they threaten life and property, and the college urges enforcement of the strictest possible penalties.
