    Parking Lot Safety

    Most criminals are opportunistic and look for easy targets

    1.  Walk in a confident manner
    2. Be aware of your surroundings
    3. Look for the most direct route to where you are going
    4. Walk with others if you can
    5. Be aware of what is going on around you
    6. Have your keys in your hand
    7. Don’t be overloaded with “stuff”
    8. Don’t have your head buried in your phone or have earbuds on
    9. Get in your car as quickly as you can
    10. Leave quickly

    If you know that you are going to be here at work after the sun sets

    1. Park your car close to where you will be exiting the building
    2. Don’t leave any valuables or loose electronic items out in the open
    3. Be aware of any potential hiding places between your exit and your car ie: shrubs, retaining walls, blind corners or other dark areas
    4. Think tactically about where you should position your car so that you have the easiest route to it, as well as a good view of your driver side door.
    5.  Should you find yourself facing a potential or suspected threat, make some noise to attract attention to yourself.   – use your car’s panic button, use a whistle, or other noisemaker.
    6. If you have a personal protection device have it in your hand

    Please never hesitate to ask for help or to report something that you feel is unsafe. 

    On-Campus Campus Carry

    Handguns are only allowed on campus (including all classrooms) to the extent specifically authorized by state law. 

    Each individual who lawfully possesses a handgun and an enhanced ARKANSAS carry permit is required to keep the handgun concealed from public view at all times and is responsible for carrying the handgun in a safe manner.

    If an individual carries a concealed handgun in a personal carrier such as a backpack, purse, or handbag, the carrier must remain within the individual’s immediate vicinity (within arm’s reach). During your courses of instruction, you may be required to engage in activities that may require you to separate from your belongings such as taking a quiz or examination, and thus you should plan accordingly.

    Any student who violates the concealed carry laws while on campus may be subject to criminal prosecution and/or discipline by the college, up to and including dismissal.

    If you observe someone displaying a handgun or other weapon on campus, it should be reported to the UA Cossatot Police Department or another campus official immediately.
