Alert - New Threat Received at UBC-Pt Grey Campus Threat, Campus, Alert, Grey, Received

Rainy

I just received this email from ubc:

Broadcast E-mail to All UBC Students, Faculty and Staff from President
Stephen J. Toope:

For the second time in a week, our Vancouver campus community has
received a threatening message.

In this second case, an unspecific threat has been made for Wednesday.
The threat does not specify a time, a location within the UBC Point
Grey campus or the method of doing harm.  

We must take such threats seriously, and we are working closely with
senior RCMP personnel to address this new threat.

What can we all do when faced with such a threat? We are taking the
advice of the RCMP to treat the non-specific nature of the threat with a
higher level of community vigilance but to otherwise continue our normal
activities.

However, because of the specific mention of the Biosciences building in
the threatening message received last week, and the traumatic
experience of the occupants who endured a full lockdown of the building at that
time, classes will be cancelled tomorrow (Wednesday) in the
Biosciences Building.

For details, see the RCMP news release at: www.rcmp-bcmedia.ca

And please continue to look at www.ubc.ca for the latest information.

Vancouver Campus Advisory -- Threat Update
Wed. Feb. 6, 4:00 pm
Broadcast message to all UBC Vancouver Students, Faculty and Staff from President Stephen J. Toope

As of 4 pm today, the RCMP has confirmed that the threat received earlier this week at the University does not extend beyond today. As a result, normal activities will continue at the Point Grey campus on Thursday, February 7. Classes and all other regularly scheduled activities will resume at the Biosciences Building.

The investigation is progressing and is being carried out vigorously. As a result, the RCMP will maintain an enhanced police presence on campus as this process continues.

We recognize there is a desire to hear more details. The RCMP have advised that police are not able to share all details of an investigation with the media or public in order to protect the integrity of the investigation. To release details may compromise police actions, potentially allowing persons to avoid detection. It may also invite other individuals to engage in behaviours that could hamper the investigation. Should there be a credible threat to the public, police will provide an advisory. Ensuring public safety remains the first priority of the University and the RCMP.
