Campus Safety

Active Assailant Training & Preparation

What’s known as an “Active Shooter” incident has become an unfortunate reality in today’s world. SCU has created this page – not to alarm our campus community – but to keep each of you informed of what to do on and off campus.

We encourage you to explore the resources provided to learn more as the most important thing you can do is be prepared!

  1. During an Active Shooter event: RUN (away from the shooter), HIDE (if you cannot run away), FIGHT (the shooter by any means necessary).
  2. If you see something suspicious or have a concern, please contact Campus Safety so that we may assist appropriately!
