**REMEMBER: Only you can decide which course of action is appropriate in each case.

Threatening individual - workplace violence
A threatening individual is any person who you determine to be a threat to you or those around you. The individual may have a gun or knife or just make you suspicious because of their behavior. They may be acting aggressively or appear under the influence of drugs/alcohol. Trust your instincts and keep yourself safe by creating distance between you and the person(s).
- Notify the police at x5555 from a campus phone whether the individual poses an immediate threat to you or not. Be prepared to provide a situation assessment.
- Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself. Stay calm and avoid conflict. If possible, seek protection in a classroom/office that locks and has phone access. Leave the building immediately if this does not put you at risk with the individual.
**Remember the police will appreciate you reporting suspicious activity whether or not it ends up being an actual crime in progress.
