Threatening Student Behavior

When someone's behavior becomes intimidating or threatening, you may feel anxious, afraid, and concerned for the safety of yourself and others. Do not attempt to manage such a situation alone. If you feel personally threatened, stop the interaction and leave.

Kirkwood Campus Security is available 24/7 to help. Call 319-398-7777. For emergencies, call 911.
