Assess Immediate Security Concerns

Is there an immediate physical threat? Call 9-1-1.

If the threat is not immediate but you believe it to be criminal: 

• Under MA law, threatening, stalking and harassing behavior, including over electronic communication and social media, is punishable by law.
• File a report with the UMass Amherst Police Department (UMPD). They maintain confidentiality and can help the faculty member coordinate with other campus organizations. You may be able to obtain a temporary restraining order through the courts. See criteria here: https://www.mass.gov/harassment-prevention-orders.
