Texas State students seem to be receiving more alerts lately. Alerts are sent by e-mail and texts, providing warnings about trouble on or near campus. Erin Pollack has more in this Bobcat Update.
The University Police Department sends alerts by e-mail and text because they are usually effective in reaching students and faculty. Follow-up message are also sent depending on the situation. If the threat is stabilized or found to be a false alarm, then an all-clear message is issued. U-P-D says it's careful about issuing alerts. Several steps are taken before sending them.
