According to the FBI, the number of active shooter cases in the U.S. has doubled over the past seven years with an average of sixteen incidents per year. This is exactly why Angelo State University's Police Department (ASUPD) conducts annual active shooter trainings on campus. This past December, ASUPD joined forces with the Texas Tech Police Department and the San Angelo Fire Department EMTs in order to simulate possible active shooter scenarios. Officers, using simulated ammunition, reacted to three different scenarios that were used to evaluate their tactical responses to an active shooter incident. While this is an event we hope will never happen on our campus, it is vital that we be prepared.

Encryption Gets Personal
Your photos appearing randomly on someone else’s profile. Important files go missing. Personal information exposed on the Internet. These are unsettling personal scenarios we want to help you avoid. Passwords and encryption, or making data unreadable to those who shouldn’t have it, are critical tools in keeping your information private. Sony, Hollywood movie stars and Target have all been in the news in recent months as victims of electronic theft. Any computer connected to the Internet is a potential target.
