About Lipscomb
Incident Response
Every Lipscomb Security & Safety Officer is trained to respond to any emergency situation, whether medical, criminal, or natural. We ask that you call Lipscomb Security & Safety immediately, for any emergency that occurs on campus. Once an emergency call is received by our office, we dispatch a Lipscomb Security Officer to the scene to make a determination if further assistance is required by Metro emergency or non-emergency, depending on the need. One Lipscomb Security Officer reports to the scene to offer aid and/or assistance until the appropriate emergency vehicle (police, ambulance, fire) arrive. Another Lipscomb Security Officer reports to a predetermined location to meet the emergency vehicle(s) and to escort them to the location of the incident. When Metro receives a call for service, they may not know where to find the specific location on campus, thus our procedures can help to expedite these services when we know that Metro emergency vehicle(s) are coming to campus.
**These procedures DO NOT prohibit others from calling Metro if they choose. We simply ask that you also give us a call.
