What should I do if I see a suspicious package on campus?

Suspicious packages should be reported to law enforcement personnel immediately.

PROTOCOL FOR SUSPICIOUS LETTERS OR PACKAGES

• Do not shake or empty contents of any suspicious envelope or package.
• Do not transport the package to another area or allow others to examine it.
• Alert Campus Police or 911.
• Leave the area closing any doors behind you. If possible shut off the ventilation system.
• Wash hands with soap and water to prevent the spreading of infectious material.
• Create a list of persons who were in the room or area when the package was recognized. Give the list to local public health and law enforcement authorities.
