Active Shooter/Threat Resources

From a preparedness mindset, the UTA Police Department strives to educate our community in a wide range of issues that have the potential to affect our campus, including active shooter/threat and workplace violence incidents. The resources on this page provide information on response considerations and intervention awareness should someone encounter this type of situation on or off campus.

Shelter-in-Place:  If you are in a building, stay in the building.  If you are not in a building, get to one quickly.

Lockdown:  The directive “Lockdown” is used to protect occupants in proximity of an immediate threat by limiting access to buildings and rooms.  If no specific locations are given, all buildings should initiate lockdown procedures.
