Lockdown Procedures

Lockdown procedures are safety protocols implemented in schools, workplaces, or public spaces to quickly secure the environment during emergencies like threats or violence. They typically involve locking doors, turning off lights, and instructing people to stay hidden and quiet until authorities confirm it’s safe to resume normal activities. The goal is to prevent harm by limiting access and delaying an intruder’s movement while ensuring everyone remains safe. These procedures are planned in advance through training and clear communication, helping minimize chaos and protect individuals during dangerous situations.
