Situations involving “active shooters” and
“active threats” are a serious concern for our nation’s university and
college campuses. An “active threat” situation can happen anywhere
beyond campuses and schools including malls, businesses, special events,
and within the workplace. The University of Illinois Police Department
(UIPD) routinely conducts training internally and with neighboring law
enforcement agencies to provide an effective response to active threat
situations. Illinois has an emergency operations plan that will guide
and support the campus during such an event. The following information
is presented to assist members of our campus community with their
individual awareness and preparation. We pride ourselves on working
with our community in order to provide a safe environment in which our
students, faculty, and staff can study, conduct research, and work.
Individual preparation and awareness is an important factor in working
together.
In the interest of safety awareness on campus we wish to inform our
campus community of ongoing investigations that may have an effect on
the campus community. Below are the synopses and a link to follow for
more information.
