In any response to an “active
threat” on the UIUC campus, the Division of Public Safety
will implement any and all means necessary to neutralize the
threat. The University of Illinois Police Department will
utilize all resources both on a proactive and reactive basis
to ensure the safety of our campus community; in most cases
a response to an “active threat” will involve a coordinated
response from multiple law enforcement agencies.
As a proactive step each College/School/Department should
use the Active Threat Template to prepare for an Active
Threat. An “active threat” is defined as any incident which
by its deliberate nature creates an immediate threat or
presents an imminent danger to the campus community.
The Office of Campus Emergency Planning has an Active Threat
Template to assist with the completion of a Comprehensive
Active Threat Plan. It is available for download at this link - Active Threat
Template. Active Threat
Information
Situations involving “active shooters” and
“active threats” are a serious concern for our nation’s university and
college campuses. An “active threat” situation can happen anywhere
beyond campuses and schools including malls, businesses, special events,
and within the workplace. The University of Illinois Police Department
(UIPD) routinely conducts training internally and with neighboring law
enforcement agencies to provide an effective response to active threat
situations. Illinois has an emergency operations plan that will guide
and support the campus during such an event. The following information
is presented to assist members of our campus community with their
individual awareness and preparation. We pride ourselves on working
with our community in order to provide a safe environment in which our
students, faculty, and staff can study, conduct research, and work.
Individual preparation and awareness is an important factor in working
together.
