To enhance campus safety and security, Lee College provides employees with CrisisAlert badges – wearable panic alarm devices that can be activated in campus buildings, parking lots, or grounds. These badges enable faculty and staff to discreetly request assistance or initiate a campus-wide lockdown, notifying Campus Security and, when necessary, local law enforcement of an active threat.
When activated, the badge instantly transmits the employee’s identity and precise location to Campus Security, designated site administrators, and — in critical situations such as an active shooter — to local law enforcement.
How to Wear Your Badge
- Position your badge behind your employee ID in a separate protective sleeve.
- Use a lanyard or clip at waist-level or above.
- Do not mark, puncture, bend, mark, or attach items to the badge.
- Do not leave the badge in a hot or cold vehicle.
- Do not leave the badge unattended or accessible to others.
Keep your badge within reach, ready to activate when needed.
This is ONLY used for a TRUE emergency!
How to Use Your Badge
STAFF ALERT — "I Need Help"
Press your badge 3 times quickly (the badge will vibrate briefly once)
- Used for individual emergencies, including but not limited to:
- Medical emergency (Call 911 if possible).
- Physical Altercation (e.g., fights in a classroom).
- Aggressive or threatening individual (e.g., verbal threats, escalating anger)
- Suspicious activity (e.g., an individual openly carrying a weapon on campus)
CAMPUS-WIDE ALERT — "We Need Help" (Lockdown)
Campus Security and local law enforcement will be notified.
Continue pressing your badge 8 or more times quickly until the campus is on lockdown (i.e., active shooter or armed intruder intending harm).- Red strobes will flash.
- A "lockdown" message via Navigator Alerts and other emergency communication systems will be activated.
The entire site will be aware of the incident.
Empower yourself to take charge of your safety. Know your lockdown procedures!
