Under threat of violence

In an unarmed threatening situation, act in the following way.

Act calmly and try to calm the person with your behaviour.
Make sure you do not turn your back or let yourself be cornered, so that you will always have an escape route when a threatening person comes close.
Call for help depending on the circumstances.
Escape and help others escape.

Take care of your own safety. Seek to direct the threatening person to a place where they cannot harm others. After the event, contact the police about the incident if required.

If the threatening person is armed, act in the following way.

Do not resist.
Do whatever the person threatening you tells you to do.
As the situation permits, try to warn others.
By closing doors, you can limit a person's movement within the property.
After the situation, call 112 to get professional help on site as fast as possible. Listen to directions and act accordingly.

Every threat and sighting of a possibly threatening situation must be taken seriously and the police must be informed immediately. Through your own behaviour, you can affect the progress of the situation, and thus you should take all threatening situations seriously and try to calm down already begun situations.

Action in a firearm situation

If leaving is not safe:

Call the emergency centre on 112 and tell them about the situation. Give the floor and the number of the room or classroom
