  • Notify 911 and Public Safety whether the individual poses an immediate threat to you or not.
  • Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself. Stay calm and avoid conflict. If possible, seek protection in a classroom/office that locks and has telephone access. Leave the building immediately if this does not put you at risk with the individual.
  • REMEMBER: Only you can decide which course of action is appropriate during a threatening encounter.
