Civil Disturbance

Non-obstructive and Non-violent Demonstrations

Most demonstrations such as marches, meetings, picketing and rallies are peaceful and non-obstructive and are targeted at groups or agencies, not individuals.  They usually occur during normal business hours.  A demonstration may not be disbanded unless one or more of the following conditions exists as a result of the demonstration.

  • Interference with normal business operations
  • Prevention of access or egress to the office building
  • Threat of physical harm to persons or damage to the facilities
  • Disorderly conduct which disturbs the surrounding building area

In the event a civil disturbance develops, tenants should call Building Security.  The following information must be provided:

  • Type of incident
  • Location of the demonstration
  • How many individuals are involved
  • What other agencies were notified (i.e, Fire, Police, or EMS)
