Hostile Intruder Guidelines

Below are recommendations from University Safety to help you know your options in a hostile intruder situation. These are only guidelines, and are not intended to be used in sequential order.

Lockdown

  • Keep out of sight and keep out of the line of threat!
  • Turn out the lights.
  • Lock and barricade the doors.
  • Quietly and carefully assess your situation.
  • Ask yourself: Is it safer to stay or go?

Evacuate

  • Based on your knowledge and assessment of the situation, is it safe to go?
  • If it is, then get out of the building and keep going away from danger! Do not stay close to the building if possible.

Counter

  • When all else fails, prepare to counter-attack.
  • Use what you have as a weapon to strike, spray, or throw at the intruder!
  • If you are in a struggle with the intruder, keep the intruder's weapon in the direction that presents the least danger to you and/or others if at all possible.
