Run, Hide, Fight: Community reminded of action steps if faced with a threat

Penn State University Police and Public Safety is reminding all students, employees and visitors to familiarize themselves with the University’s official Active Attacker Response Program to learn how to respond to a potentially life-threatening situation in any environment. Based on the Run, Hide, Fight model developed by the city of Houston, Texas, Penn State’s Active Attacker Response Program offers the same three action steps if confronted with an active assailant, making it easy to remember and act upon in an emergency: run if you can, hide if you can’t, and fight if you have to.
