Fullerton College will hold its annual active shooter emergency drill at 10:15\u00a0a.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Initiated by the Office of Campus Safety, the drill helps test emergency communications and preparedness.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beginning at 10:15\u00a0a.m., students and employees on campus will hear a live announcement delivered through the Cisco phones\u00a0located\u00a0throughout campus. At that time, students,\u00a0faculty\u00a0and staff will be directed to shelter-in-place for the lockdown drill. During the drill, participants will learn what they should do\u00a0in the event of\u00a0an active shooter on campus.\u00a0The Fullerton Police Department will also be there to\u00a0observe\u00a0the drill and conduct a walkthrough of the campus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Students and staff will view a 20-minute educational video on active shooter situations and then discuss preparation methods in their classrooms or offices. Students in class will watch this video with their instructor and students who are not in class at the time of the drill will be asked to go to the North Gym to watch the video.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emergency communications systems will also be tested by the Office of Campus Communications at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the drill. All students and staff will receive a text message, voice\u00a0message\u00a0and email informing them of the drill later that morning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to Prepare\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Staff and faculty should check and adjust their Cisco\u00a0phone\u2019s\u00a0volume to a high setting, ensuring it is not set too low or muted to guarantee the drill announcement can be heard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Review and update your contact information in\u00a0MyGateway<\/a>\u00a0to ensure you receive the phone, text and email alerts for the drill and future emergencies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Students or staff who are on campus when the active shooter drill is started will be asked to go inside the North Gym. Campus safety officers will patrol the\u00a0campus\u00a0and signs will be posted directing people to these buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
