To assist Georgia Tech students and employees with appropriately responding and interacting with local, state, or federal law enforcement agents, essential steps are provided below.

If a local, state or federal law enforcement agent requests access to non-public areas of campus, asks questions, or seeks records from you, either as an employee or as a student:

• Immediately refer the agent to the Georgia Tech Police Department (GTPD) and call the GTPD non-emergency number at 404-894-2500 to notify them of the agent's presence.
   
• Request the agent to wait in an area that does not expose confidential, proprietary, or export-controlled information.
   
• Document the interaction clearly and politely, including the following: date, time, details of the interaction, and if available, the agent's name, identification number, agency affiliation, and contact information.
  
  Note: While you have the right to document and report the incident, do not physically obstruct or interfere with the actions of the agents.  
   
• Do not disclose any non-public information or accept legal documents, such as a subpoena or warrant, addressed to the Institute. If documents are presented to you, inform the agents that you are not authorized to accept service on behalf of the Institute and refer the agent to the Office of the General Counsel at 404-894-4812.
