Standard Response Protocol (SRP)

SRP Communications

Our district has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff train and exercise using SRP common action language. 

Hold - “In Your Room or Area” - Used when hallways need to be kept clear of occupants.

Secure - “Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors” - Used to safeguard people within the building.

Lockdown - “Locks, Lights, Out of Sight” - Used to secure individual  rooms and keep occupants quiet and in place.

Evacuate - Used to move people from one location to a different location in or out of the building.

Shelter - “Named Hazard” - Used for group and self protection during inclement weather or hazmat incident.

In partnership with the schools, the Dublin Police Department will use the commonly used terms noted above to keep messaging consistent for students, parents and the larger community. As these terms will be shared publicly, the police department will define what the status means as it pertains to the incident.
