Coping with violence, UWPD, UHS send message to Madison community

University of Wisconsin Police Department and University Health Services collaborated to reach out to the Madison campus and community about how to handle tragedy when it strikes.

Though the San Bernardino, California, mass shooting did not prompt UWPD’s and UHS’ message, it discussed how to act in times of violence and how to prevent such acts from occurring.

The timing was interesting, UWPD spokesperson Marc Lovicott said, and though the tragedy was extremely unfortunate, it created a captive audience for the message.
