“If there is anyone on campus who has not opted into the Jaguar Alert System, I urge them to do so,” says Chief Cooke.

In the Jaguar Alert System—which is provided by Connect-ED—faculty, staff, and students who opt in to the service may register two telephone numbers, two email addresses, and one device for text to receive emergency alerts. Emergency messages are broadcast to all contact numbers and email addresses provided.

“Emergency calls or emails from the Jaguar Alert System should be taken seriously by everyone. In the event of an emergency notification, it is also important that everyone follows the instructions provided and takes the immediate action requested,” says Chief Cooke. “

If you have not registered, please go into Pipeline, click on the Jaguar Alert button, and follow the directions for opting into the program. Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation message.

“The new Emergency Notification System is designed to keep our faculty, staff, and students as safe as possible prior to, during, and following emergencies,” says Chief Cooke. “But they have to opt into the program first.”

”Connect-ED will be replacing the current emergency notification system. With the new system, we will be able to send email, phone, and text messages simultaneously. The old system only allowed us to send out a text message,” says Jasper Cooke, director of Public Safety.

The new system will allow administrators and public safety personnel to send personalized voice and text messages quickly in the event of an emergency.

“The only time this system will be used is when there is a serious incident or issue on campus,” he says.

Chief Cooke says that faculty, staff, and students can preload their information into the system by logging onto their Pipeline account and, through Elroy, signing up for the Jaguar Alert. The system will go live at the beginning of fall semester.
