Run Hide Tell - public guidance for firearms and weapons attacks

RUN

Run to a place of safety. This is a far better option than to surrender or negotiate. If there’s nowhere to go then…

HIDE

It’s better to hide than to confront. Remember to turn your phone to silent and turn off vibrate. Barricade yourself in if you can. Then finally and only when it’s safe to do so…

TELL

Tell the police by calling 999

The National Police Chiefs' Council has provided advice to the public on the steps they can take to keep themselves safe in the rare event of a firearms or weapons attack.
