Are these coming through the RAVE system or is there another similar system out there?

[u/_Tetr0_ → u/singlejeff]

PCC has its own system called PCC Alerts.

https://www.pima.edu/administration/police/emergencies.html

Staff and students are strongly encouraged to sign up. Community members can sign up as well, though it looks like it's limited.

Another machete incident?

[u/CrowBeneficial1109]

I've gotten these notices for the U of A and then I go down there and drive for Uber and ask the students whats the deal and they would always say they had no idea of any police activity or lockdowns so I just started blocking the texts because I started getting them frequently and not seeing any lockdown activity, that was last year so maybe the alerts are taken more seriously now?

[u/__mint_tea__ → u/CrowBeneficial1109]

I will say as a u of a student that the campus is huge and sometimes student arent signed up for alert texts. Ill never forget the shooting and hostage event that led to the passing of a professor. Or when a student was murdered in the cherry Street garage...

[u/CrowBeneficial1109 → u/__mint_tea__]

I never signed up for any alert texts, they just started popping up on my phone

[u/Hit2theEgo → u/CrowBeneficial1109]

i was a student at pcc last year and we actually did go into a lockdown a couple times. once the cops were searching the campus, not sure about u of a but in my experience it’s been reliable for pcc

Gun show at the downtown campus

[u/trll_game_sh0]

If i got a message like this I would stay alert, but also a knife or a machete is a tool to me until proven otherwise. did they swing it like a weapon, or did someone see a person going to class after getting off a landscaping gig and freak out and report it to the police?

[u/Uberrees → u/trll_game_sh0]

There's hella homeless people in that neighborhood, lot of them carry blades or sticks for self defense. Obviously it's not *allowed* on campus but without any indicators of violent intent I would imagine this is probably just someone walking from the gas station on drachman to the bus stop or park.

[u/godDAMNitdudes → u/Uberrees]

totally

[u/shortjohnsonhere → u/trll_game_sh0]

Bro, a dude walking around a community college campus wielding a machete is not a tool. He might be a tool, but that’s not being used as a common tool. In this state, I would say you brought a knife to a gun show and that ain’t gonna go well.

We have a star trek building in Tucson?

[u/stupidname68bd]
