Campus community,

The UIS Police Department provides training presentations on ways to minimize your risk during an active shooter / active threat incident. The next class will be on Wednesday, October 23, at 10:00 am in Brookens Auditorium. The presentation will be approximately 1 hour in length. These presentations will help you prepare for an active shooter incident and provide a forum to ask questions so you may become better informed on the actions that you can take to stay safe during this type of critical incident.  The presentation will also provide you with information regarding campus-wide emergency communications in the event this type of incident occurs on the UIS campus. 

If you or your department/unit is unable to make that date or unable to retain a seat, please contact the UIS Police Department at (217) 206-6690 to arrange an alternate date and time for a private training session.  You can also send an email request to the UIS PD at uispolice@uis.edu.  We are open to providing training to campus in large or small venues, day or night.

As a reminder, we encourage everyone in our community to download and familiarize themselves with the Rave Guardian application.  This app allows you to text message our dispatch center, utilize a virtual escort service, call our dispatch center while providing your GPS location, and quickly access support resources.  Those support resources include forms for reporting students or employees of concern.  Any time you feel your safety, or the safety of those around you, is at risk, you should notify the UIS Police dispatch center by phone or text message for immediate help.
