**UPDATE from the Armed Subject Alert that was sent Earlier Today**

OCCURRED: February 20, 2018/ Approximately 11:55 a.m.

LOCATION: Annapolis Hall

UMPD CASE #: 2018-11905

BRIEF DETAILS:

On February 20, 2018, at approximately 12:01 p.m., the University of Maryland Police Department received a call about a female armed with a handgun that was in a holster, possibly with a badge, at Annapolis Hall. As officers searched for the individual, UMPD received a call from a female who informed us that she was the person we were seeking from Annapolis Hall. Officers met with the female at the College Park Shopping Center. It was determined that she was an off-duty officer from another law enforcement agency and her clothing had shifted which exposed her handgun without her knowledge. The female was on campus conducting personal business and posed no threat to our community.

We commend the caller who brought this situation to our attention. Remember, if you see something, say something.

A Message from UMPD Regarding Yesterday’s Tragic Event in Florida

Submitted by UMPD on Thu, 02/15/2018 - 16:03

A Message from UMPD Regarding Yesterday’s Tragic Event in Florida

Dear Campus Community,

Yesterday’s horrific incident in Parkland, Florida is a sobering reminder that such incidents continue to happen and often lead to more questions than answers. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School community.

Currently, there are no active threats toward our campus. It is extremely important to remember that, If You See Something, Say Something. If you notice an individual that is behaving in a manner that is unsettling, please call the University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) right away so an investigation can begin. Furthermore, UMPD remains vigilant all day, every day, to protect our campus from harm.

This campus has a Behavior Evaluation and Threat Assessment (BETA) Team, which evaluates reports about students who appear to be concerning, disruptive, or threatening. For more information, please visit https://studentaffairs.umd.edu/staff-faculty/beta-team .

While UMPD trains for active shooter incidents, our students, faculty and staff must also be prepared. If you find yourself in the middle of an active shooter event, your survival may depend on whether or not you have a plan. The plan doesn't have to be complicated. There are three things you can do that make a difference: RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. To learn more about these three steps, I urge you to you watch Run. Hide. Fight. Surviving An Active Shooter Event video.

Our instructors are available to meet with your division, department, or student group, to talk more about active shooter preparedness. To request a presentation, please contact Captain Ecker at kecker@umpd.umd.edu .

As always, I ask that you register your cell phone with UMD Alerts and download the UMD Guardian Safety App. Simply visit https://www.alert.umd.edu/ to register your cell phone and you will receive text messages from UMPD in the event of an emergency. By downloading the UMD Guardian app, you can text a tip to UMPD and have the ability to include a photo.

Both resources are free and help when seconds count in an emergency.
