An active shooter is a person(s) who appears to be actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in populated areas on campus. Active shooter situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly. These types of situations demand immediate response by the community and immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to minimize harm to the college population.
Individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to take direct responsibility for their personal safety and security. In general, how you respond to an active shooter will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter.
If you see someone suspicious, making threats or brandishing a weapon, contact 911 or 公共安全 Ephraim campus at 435-835-2345 or Richfield campus at 435-896-6471 立即.
