Shots Fired and Flashpoint Instructional Videos
Bring Awareness to the Campus Community

The University of Houston Department of Public Safety’s Crime Prevention office has important information that needs to be shared with the campus community. The UHDPS Crime Prevention Unit is available for presentations on Active Shooter situations and other topics.

While we don’t anticipate an event such as this to occur on our campus, it is always important to be prepared. The University of Houston Department of Public Safety offers this training program designed to empower our community with knowledge and strategies for preventing and surviving an active shooter situation. “Shots Fired – When Lightning Strikes” provides the individual student, staff member and/or associate with critical guidance on how to recognize and survive an active shooter situation. The videos help individuals identify the signs and then act.
