IMMINENT THREAT OF VIOLENCE OR OTHER HARM
A threat of violence may include, but is not limited to, a person on or near campus with a weapon, the lock down of nearby schools, or significant law enforcement action in the neighborhood adjacent to campus.
East Campus tenants who believe there is an imminent threat of violence or toxic contamination, are encouraged to initiate lockdown & evacuation procedures. As soon as feasible, you must call 911 and Campus Safety (253-535-7411 or 7911). Appropriate resources will be provided at the earliest opportunity as available.
Contact your clients/customers for extended lockdowns or evacuation. Check PLU's webpage for emergency updates throughout any emergency event.
Any person who knowingly initiates a false report that results in a lock down response of campus will be referred for disciplinary action to the appropriate university office, Student Conduct, Human Resources, and/or the Pierce County Sheriff. The University will consider a knowingly false report of imminent danger a very serious offense and will respond accordingly.
