WHAT TO DO IF YOU SET OFF THE ALARM
What happens if you accidentally set off the building alarm when you arrive in the morning?? First, don’t panic. The alarm automatically calls the police department and a custodian. Employees should just wait and explain the error to those who respond.
If you have/know your building code, try entering your code followed by “1” at either the the main security alarm keypad is in the entryway vestibule or at the secondary key pad is located at the Borrower Services Desk.
All alarms should be resolved by the police department and custodians. Even mistakes. They keep logs, stats, etc.
If you don’t know your building code, please reach out to your Department or Division Head.
