Crisis response plans generally worked well and involved personnel addressed real-time and follow-on challenges with noteworthy dedication and outstanding professionalism.<\/p>\n<p>This review identifies several areas for improvement, primarily involving the adequacy of certain housing policies, the designation and alignment of assets (staffing and funding) available for support of a prolonged emergency event, and the implementation of enhanced campus security infrastructure (such as universal building access capability, improved security-camera coverage and interoperability, and upgraded emergency messaging systems).<\/p>\n<p>Various action items recommend these and other improvements, many of which have already been completed or are in progress, with others undergoing further analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The after-action review was a directive from UCF President John C. Hitt in order to record the facts of what took place; evaluate strengths and lessons learned related to university policies, procedures and readiness; and provide recommendations for improving security on campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUCF remains a very, very safe campus, and it\u2019s because of the dedicated hard work of police, staff members and all those who play a part. Security is everybody\u2019s business, and it\u2019s a noble, essential and top priority goal for everybody at UCF,&#8221; said retired Navy Vice Admiral Alfred G. Harms, Jr., UCF\u2019s vice president for Strategy, Marketing Communication and Admissions, who led the two-month review. &#8220;From the moment students arrive on campus, we preach awareness, we preach sensitivity, we preach be part of the security team. It\u2019s got to be an entire family effort if it\u2019s going to be effective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The university\u2019s Crisis Management Team met weekly to coordinate the review process, which included contributions from multiple UCF departments, an independent group of university and community members, and an independent security and crisis response expert.<\/p>\n<p>To read the summary and the most significant appendices of the after-action review, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2013\/05\/UCFAfterActionReviewSummary.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The university declined to use the subject\u2019s name in the review and police report, except for where it appears in official documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe desire for notoriety and attention often fuels these types of acts, and we will not abet creating a \u2018celebrity of violence\u2019 around this individual,\u201d said Grant J. Heston, UCF associate vice president for communications and public affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The police investigation, which concluded Thursday, showed that two factors likely contributed to preventing the deceased from carrying out his plan of violence against the UCF community.<\/p>\n<p>UCF police arrived at Tower 1 within four minutes of the initial 911 call. Material retrieved from the deceased\u2019s computer showed that he anticipated having more time to carry out his plan. Police also found that the deceased\u2019s rifle jammed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the plan was in place, there was no turning back. He knew that he had 10 to 15 minutes that he was going to be able to do harm to our students, but when he didn\u2019t have those 10 or 15 minutes, the plan went awry. With his weapon jammed and law enforcement outside the door, his options were limited. We were incredibly lucky,&#8221; said UCF Police Chief Richard Beary.<\/p>\n<p>UCF Police worked closely with several law enforcement partners throughout the investigation, including the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Florida Department of Law Enforcement; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>Counselors are available to help Tower 1 residents and others who may need assistance. If you would like to speak with a counselor, contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 407-823-2811. Push option number 5 for after-hours assistance.<\/p>\n<p>UCF administrators and staff will discuss the incident with university leaders and first responders from all of Florida\u2019s public universities during a two-day crisis management conference in July hosted by UCF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of Central Florida has concluded its internal review and police investigation of the March 18 shooting incident in Tower 1.
