Expectations During an Incident

Violence >>

  • If the incident arose from a disagreement, tell those involved to stop (they may only need an excuse to stop and not lose their pride);
  • If the violence persists, involves more than two people, is purposeful, is escalating, or is spreading;
  • Do not place anyone at risk;
  • Call for help (notify UPD – ask UPD to notify the Crisis Manager. Call 911 if you are not at a DC campus); and
  • Move those not involved away from the violence by the safest and most expeditious route.
