Keeping Georgetown Safe

Keeping our Georgetown campus safe from active shooter/active aggressor incidents is a top priority and the campus takes a team approach. These groups include the Georgetown University Police Department (GUPD), the campus Threat Assessment Team and the Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
This website is designed to be an informational guide on how to report a threatening person or a person of concern, how to identify resources that will provide emergency information to help you make decisions on how to keep safe and information how to stay safe during an active aggressor incident.
