In an emergency situation that requires trans-portation via ambulance, the senior athletics trainer on duty will contact the TTU Police Department to dispatch an ambulance. Upon activation, the police will contact local emer-gency medical personnel and meet them on campus to escort them to the athletic venue.

In a nonemergency situation that requires immediate care from an off-campus provider, the senior athletics trainer on duty will com-municate with the visiting athletics trainer or the coaching staff as to treatment options and will assist the visiting team members with transportation and referral information. The athletics training staff will be of assis-tance if necessary.
