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.
