Liberty University has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security’s See Something, Say Something campaign to raise awareness on our campus regarding suspicious activity. If you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, say something by contacting LUPD. By being alert and reporting suspicious activity, you can help protect our community.
Concerning or Suspicious Behavior Response Procedures
If you witness a person acting in an odd or unusual manner or if a person or situation makes you feel uneasy, trust your instincts, and report it.
Remain calm.
DO NOT physically confront the person.
DO NOT let anyone into a locked building or office.
DO NOT block the person’s access to an exit.
Call LU Emergency Communications at (434) 592-7641. Provide as much information as possible about the person and his or her direction of travel in your description of the person.
