The Office of Emergency Management and the University of Houston Police Department participated in a full-scale emergency exercise at Baylor University earlier this month. Attendees included Sergeant Leonard Ganther, Sergeant Rahim Ali, Corporal Dylan Hartman of UHPD, and Evan Broadbent, Emergency Management Specialist representing OEM. Along with UH, other Big XII institutions of higher education also participated.
The exercise was based on an active violence scenario within one of the buildings on the Baylor University campus. The exercise included a multi-agency law enforcement response, medical triage, and transport of patients to local hospitals. In addition, the exercise strengthened inter-operability and mutual cooperation among Big XII conference members and their respective safety and security teams.
