One morning, the university received a threatening message. Local police were notified and a precautionary campus lockdown was instated.

Employees and students were advised to report tips through Vector LiveSafe or to call Security if they had relevant information.
Broadcast messaging and two-way communication capabilities enabled university community members to stay informed and safe throughout this incident. The Vector LiveSafe Mobile Platform significantly improved real-time threat awareness and promoted student and employee preparedness and safety.
