Your Safety Comes First!

If you become aware of suspicious activity, NEVER:

  • Ignore your instincts.
  • Take direct action or pursue.
  • Confront the individual.

If you become aware of suspicious activity, ALWAYS:

  • Call 911 if there is a life-threatening situation.
  • When reporting suspicious activity, it helps to give the most accurate description possible.
  • Notify the Lee College Security Department at 281.425.6888 as soon as possible, and describe the events you observed:
    • Brief description of the activity
    • Date, time, and location of the activity
    • Physical identifiers of anyone you observed
    • Descriptions of vehicles
    • Information about where people involved in suspicious activities may have gone
    • Your name and contact information (optional)

If you SEE something, SAY something!

What to Look For

  • Attempting to gain access or found in places they don't belong
  • Unusual interest in operational details and asking probing questions
  • Avoiding eye contact and/or departing quickly when seen or approached
  • Moving against the flow of traffic or loitering for no apparent reason
  • Overdressed for the weather
  • A strong odor coming from a bag or vehicle
  • An overloaded vehicle or fluid leaking other than from the engine or gas tank

Active Shooter Warning Signs

A potential active shooter may exhibit additional warning signs that appear suspicious:

  • Increasingly erratic, unsafe, or aggressive behaviors
  • Hostile behavior based on claims of injustice or perceived wrongdoing
  • Claims of marginalization or distancing from friends and colleagues
  • Changes in performance at school or work
  • Sudden and dramatic changes in home life or in personality
  • Financial difficulties
  • Pending civil or criminal litigation
  • Observable grievances and making statements of retribution

While active shooter situations are often unpredictable, paying careful attention to warning signs could go a long way in mitigating a potential incident. Even people who are not a threat to others may benefit from resources available through the college and/or community.
