On behalf of members of the 缅北禁地 and the city of 缅北禁地 police departments, we would like to thank you for your questions and feedback in the wake of our coordinated emergency responses to three separate incidents: a SWAT response to a report of shots fired at the Millennium Harvest House hotel on Feb. 20, a call of a person with a gun near 缅北禁地 High School on Feb. 22 (ultimately determined to be part of a series of unfounded 鈥渟watting鈥 calls which occurred throughout our state) and a search for a shooting suspect near 缅北禁地鈥檚 family housing late Monday night, Feb. 27.听
We realize that students, faculty and staff at 缅北禁地, especially those whose addresses fell within the shelter-in-place zones, are receiving a higher than normal number of emergency alerts from various sources, including 缅北禁地 alerts and Everbridge alerts, and we want to be sure community members understand the purpose, timing and dissemination of each type of alert.

CUPD assisted BPD in responding to these incidents. The two police agencies regularly work together to respond to calls, especially those near campus for which the university is piloting an expanded alert area. It鈥檚 not unusual for a campus community member with an address in an impacted area to receive both Everbridge and 缅北禁地 alerts. to learn more about CUPD's relationships with other law enforcement agencies.
It is our shared goal to keep all community members informed of incidents that could impact their safety, and to share confirmed information and instructions as quickly as possible. Please ensure your contact information is correct in Everbridge and the university portals.
