Alarm Procedure
Please review the video "School Security:
Preventing False Alarms"
which is located at each facility site.
|
Security Codes |
- Any person approved by the principal who will be
opening/closing a facility/school or entering after hours
will be required to have a key to their area and a
security code. Security codes are issued by the
District Security
Chief. Keys are issued by the work site
principal.
- The District Security Chief, through the Staff
Attorney's Office, will be the only
person to issue security codes. The monitoring company
does not issue codes.
-
To have a security code issued, the principal or
designee will do the following:
Fill out the form "Request
for New Security Code" (All blocks must be filled in.)
E-mail Form (e-mail as an
attachment to
security@sbac.edu)
Hard Copy Form
(print and fill out, send to the Staff Attorney's
Office at the Kirby-Smith Center)
The code will be issued and
activated by the monitoring company.
Once the security code is issued, the Staff
Attorney's Office
will send an envelope to the principal. Inside
that envelope will be a sealed envelope with the
recipient name on the envelope. Inside that envelope will
be an informational letter and a card with the telephone
number to be called to cancel an alarm and the security
code.
The principal will hand deliver the sealed
envelope to the recipient.
Note: This is done as a security measure where the
principal will be the only party to approve a security
code and will also be the party which will deliver that
code.
- Do not write your name or any other identification
(site location, directions, etc.) on the card, which has
your security code on it.
- Do not give your security code to anyone.
- If an employee departs the school system for any reason (resign,
retires, is terminated), who has a security code, it is
the principals responsibility to go to the above web site
and notify the Staff Attorney's Office within twenty-four
hours.
- The Staff Attorney's Office will contact the monitoring
company
who will deactivate the security code within twenty-four
hours.
There are three models of ITI alarms keypads in our
district. They are the SCV, the SCV-Special and the Concord.
They all operate similar to arm, disarm, and to bypass a
problem.

Alarm Is Ringing And You
Need To Cancel The Alarm |

for the placement of the number on telephones and on the
keypad.

code. Tell them to cancel any law enforcement
response.

of your alarm systems

Attorney's Office deals only with the monitoring of the
alarms.
