Officers: All current written policies and procedures related to personal hygiene, sanitation, and use of Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE) shall be strictly adhered to. Security Personnel are asked to stay home if they or a person in their household is ill.

All Security Personnel will be monitored to ensure these new procedures are followed and should a perceived violation be found it will be addressed and corrected immediately. All PPE, Sanitation and/or adjusted EMS Medical Practices or Requirements, deemed necessary by those with the authority to direct this Resort, will be addressed at the Executive level and departmentally adjusted. The Security Director and/or his requested Security Administrator will correct and/or implement new procedures as needed for the Security Department.

Security will maintain good social distancing and respond to service calls as designated in the opening procedures to protect the Security/Resort employee and Customer/Guest.

Security Dispatchers and the Highest Ranking Shift Supervisor are to purposefully monitor all call responses to ensure adequate coverage of the call, while ensuring limited staff response to eliminate unnecessary contact. All Resort Policies related to PPE/Sanitation during these contacts shall be followed.

Supervisors: The Supervisory staff for each shift is responsible to ensure all current or revised written and verbal communication from the Security Director, HR Administration and, as directed by Executive Management are followed without compromise or delay.

Supervisors are to personally monitor their staff to ensure they are physically and medically sound for duty and are at all times carrying and utilizing proper PPE. The new and extended regulations must become habitual for the safety of all involved.

Dispatchers: Dispatchers are essential for Security Officer and Customer (s). Dispatchers must stay plugged in and alert to the calls for service coming in and going out. Dispatchers must, to the best of their ability, be able to perceive exactly who and how many officers are required for each call for service which can be adjusted as Security Officers call in from the incident scene.

Dispatchers are required to direct which officers are to go on which calls, officers will not be allowed to respond to a call unless they have been directed to do so by Dispatch. Officers must be ACKNOWLEDGED by the Dispatcher and, cleared to respond, before going to a call. Note: Supervisors MUST oversee/hear these calls for response to ensure all involved observe public and private safety.

When calling for an outside medical agency to respond to the resort, Dispatchers are to receive and relay all pertinent medical information to the responding agency so they can respond according to their protocol. Officers and/or EMTs are to ensure a proper and safe response path for the arriving agency. The same applies when circumstances require a call for a Police Officer response.

Emergency Medical Technicians (“EMTs): EMTs shall only allow one additional officer when practical to assist on any medical scene.

EMTs will not respond to potential COVID-19 and/or Flu like Illness calls for service in guest rooms and instead will offer the guest assistance from an outside medical agency and the Dispatcher shall contact the Riverside’s Liaison, Joni Starling Safety Supervisor, to provide her with the pertinent information for said guest. The guest shall be advised to remain in their room to await response from the outside medical agency.

If the guest refuses assistance from an outside medical agency then the guest will be advised to remain in their room until such time as a Security Officer is able to escort the guest off property at which time the protocols for “In-House Hotel Guests” as set forth herein below shall be followed.

Illness calls in the Public/Casino access areas are a separate condition. Dispatch shall immediately notify the Riverside’s Liaison, Joni Starling and an EMT or Officer will be required to go to the area, once proper PPE is adorned, to assess the call and isolate the area. When possible in this respect, getting the potentially ill patient outside and away from the general public should be attempted providing there are no more serious medical conditions to consider.

Again, when contacting an outside medical agency to respond, all necessary medical conditions must be relayed to the Security Dispatcher for proper Outside Agency preparation for response.

Pool Life Guards: Our Pool Lifeguards are to follow and maintain the appropriate PPE protocols related to this area. Lifeguards will NOT involve themselves in the social distancing oversight and will instead call for a bar, pool, or security attendant to oversee this requirement. The safety of those in the swimming pool is the primary responsibility of the Lifeguard.

Locksmiths/Lost and Found: Proper disinfecting of doors/locks and necessary equipment preparation and cleaning is required. PPE and proper sanitation practices will be required when completing all tasks in both department divisions.

Losers Lounge Nightclub Officers:

Closed until further notice.

Office Sanitation/Deep Cleaning: The sanitation and disinfecting of the Security Department interview and holding cells will be the responsibility of the shift personnel on duty and will be wiped down immediately after each use.

Hotel Arrival:

Front Desk Screening: All hotel guests will be required to complete a symptom self-evaluation upon check-in. If EMT’s are not on property for any reason, front desk staff or security will provide temperature screenings upon hotel check-in. Any guest displaying a symptom on the self-evaluation survey or displaying a temperature over 100.4°F on a digital thermometer will be taken to a private area for a secondary temperature screening.

Secondary Screening: Guests will be escorted to a designated, private and isolated area and provided with PPE. A Security Officer using appropriate PPE (including a surgical mask and eye protection) and a temporal thermometer will record a second temperature. If the visitor refuses the secondary reading, they will be denied entry to the property and provided a COVID-19 information card.

Visitors with Elevated Temperature: If the secondary reading confirms that the visitor has a temperature above 100.4°F, the visitor will be denied entry into property and be directed towards medical care and provided with resources and recommendations based on CDC and local health authority guidelines. Dispatch shall be instructed to contact the Riverside’s Liaison regarding the potentialsick customer and the Security Supervisor will collect basic visitor information including name, names of room shares and close contact guests in their traveling party and ID (i.e. driver’s license or employee ID) to provide to the Liaison. The Supervisor will then make initial observations for the known symptoms of COVID-19 including cough, fever and shortness of breath and again report the same to the Liaison. If a visitor refuses to provide information or cooperate with Security, the visitor will be denied entry to the property.

SNHD Reporting: The Security Supervisor handling the case will immediately notify the Riverside’s Liaison who will then be responsible for contacting the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) at (702) 759-1300 Option 2 and advise the operator that there is a possible case of COVID-19 and inform SNHD if the visitor is requesting medical care or refusing to cooperate and leaving the property.

In-House Hotel Guests: If a current hotel guest is deemed to have an elevated temperature, and not in medical distress, the guest will be offered an opportunity to return to their room and gather their belongings before transportation is arranged.

If a guest requests to return to their room, to depart property, the following protocol shall be followed:

A Security Officer will be assigned to escort the guest for the remainder of the process;
- The guest will be provided with appropriate PPE (if not already wearing) and escorted directly to their room;
- The Officer will control the elevator to ensure
  no other visitors use the same cabin;
- The Officer will notify Dispatch and the elevator will be returned to service after properly sanitized by the Safety & Sanitation Crew;
- The Officer will notify the Hotel Manager on duty to remove the room from service and not permit access until the room is properly sanitized.

If the guest does not return to their room before departing property, the following protocol shall be followed:

The Security Officer will notify the Hotel Manager on duty to remove the room from service and not permit access until proper clearance is given and/or the room is properly sanitized;
The guest’s belongings will remain in the room until Security can arrange for the safe removal and storage of the belongings;
Hotel Management will determine the best course of action to handle the outstanding folio on a case by case basis.

GUESTS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY DISPLAYED AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MAY NOT RETURN TO THE RESORT UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN MEDICALLY CLEARED. Once proper medical clearance is given, they may return to their room (if still checked in).
