In the interest of MSU having a faster, more efficient and comprehensive emergency response protocol, Mississippi State President Mark Keenum formed the Training, Locks and Communication committee (TLC) comprised of members of the Crisis Action Team along with others involved in specific roles within the university such as ITS, Facilities Management and the police department.
The TLC Committee as already instituted training for faculty and staff, having already trained 500 members of MSU with more sessions scheduled.
In addition to training, members of the TLC committee are reviewing the current emergency alert system at MSU and looking to see if there is any room for improvement.
Jeremy Baham, associate dean of students, is working with Chief Information Officer Mike Rackley and Security & Compliance Officer Tom Ritter to asses MSU’s emergency broadcast methods.
Ritter said the committee recently made a decision to invite communication systems vendors to visit MSU and demonstrate what they can provide. He believes progress will be made within months.
