BU Safety Awareness for Everyone

FSAO recognizes that members of our community experience a wide range of emotions viewing news of the events at Brown University and other violent events across the world. The following resource explains BUPD’s active threat response plan to critical events on campus, as well as actions individuals on campus can do to keep themselves and others safe. 

SAFE is a series of videos in which members of the BUPD, Emergency Management, and Behavioral Medicine provide vital information and resources to utilize before, during, and after an active threat event.

SAFE has two components, one public facing for prospective students, families and the public, and the second is more interactive, providing members of our community with more in-depth information.

1. A 10–13-minute informational video for public display.
2. A 30–40-minute Asynchronous Training for students, faculty and staff.

Watch the SAFE (Safety Awareness for Everyone) video to learn more about the comprehensive support provided to the Boston University community by the BU Police Department (BUPD) in the event of an active threat. In this video, you will hear tips and resources from BU experts that serve to empower all members of our community to keep themselves and each other safe.
