A 2014 FBI study revealed that 7.5 percent of active violence incidents between 2000 and 2013 occurred in institutions of higher education. Roughly 60 percent of all active violence incidents ended before police arrived.

You can learn the best ways to prevent and survive in such an event in the upcoming class “Recognizing and Preventing Violence in the Workplace” on Wednesday, April 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Instructors from the MSU Police will provide instruction on how to identify these behaviors of concern, how to act upon suspicions, and how to react in an active violence incident to maximize survival chances. Participants will also learn how police respond to these dangerous situations.
