Safety - Threat Assessment Partnership

Threat Assessment Partnership graphic

"You have the power to..." means we all have the power to act if there is ever a threat to safety on campus. This poster, and other media communication like it, invites you to become an active member of the Threat Assessment Partnership just by simply being aware and being willing to report.

The Threat Assessment Partnership is a Process that is:
  • Campus Safety Oriented
  • Behavior Based
  • Risk Prevention and Management Focused
It's Objective is to:
  • Expedite the reporting of troubling situations
  • Focus upon prevention as well as a calculated response to threatening situations
  • When possible use interventions that promote and emphasize dignity and respect
  • Promote open and safe campus environment
It's Focus is on:
  • Troubling Behavior rather than Troubled Persons
  • Troubling Situations
Troubling Behaviors are identified as:
  • Causing harm or potential to cause harm, or
  • Threat to life safety, or
  • Real or potentially serious damage to University property or operations
Troubling Situations may warrant a threat assessment when situation involve:
  • Property owned or controlled by University
  • Students, faculty, and/or staff

All faculty, staff, and students should call one number: 472-2222, if anyone, at any time, is concerned that someone at the university is exhibiting troubling or threatening behavior.

By calling attention to these types of behaviors we can help people who are troubled before they could harm themselves or others. You may also contact the Threat Assessment Group directly via email at UNLPDThreatAssessment@unlnotes.unl.edu with any questions or concerns.

Grant funding has been received to conduct other components, including security assessments of facilities, and using a geographic information system (GIS) to provide spatial information on crime occurrences, and emergency management planning and facility management.
