  1. Take from the person all UMBC library materials in their possession.
  2. Ask the person for identification.
    UMBC students are required under University policy to produce identification upon demand by any staff member. You may have to remind them of this requirement.
  3. Call campus police (x53133x55555) immediately to respond to the Library and assist. The responding police officer(s) will ordinarily arrest the individual.
    Note: Library staff are not sworn police officers and cannot make a criminal arrest. Verbally persuade the person to await police; do not physically detain the person.
  4. Complete an incident report form. Carefully list all UMBC library materials in question. If the police arrest the person then and there, they may need to take the library materials with them. This is acceptable. Otherwise retain the materials at the Security desk/closet to be given to the Library Administrative Offices with the incident report the next day.
