Safety Topic of the Month

Environmental/Situational Awareness

Campus Safety has a lot to do with recognizing what is happening around you, responding appropriately, and knowing the safety issues on campus so you don’t become a victim. This month we will focus on how to assess situations, stay safe (prevention), and the many ways to report to UNMPD.

If you are not really sure you should report something, call dispatch and they will direct you.  Be prepared to react to emergencies Know what Alerts and sirens mean
