June 11, 2024 – Message sent to DIS Stockholm students
DIS is committed to your safety during your stay with us. We monitor the news and will send you updates as needed when things happen in areas that you live or frequently visit in Stockholm.
The purpose of this message is to inform you that you may see an increased police presence on public transportation today due to an incident that occurred earlier today at Slussen metro stop.
Transportation continues to operate normally, but police may stop trains for searches.
The authorities do not recommend any changes to your plans today. However,
DIS recommends that students:
- Follow instructions and comply with directions of authorities, including police,
- Be aware of your surroundings, and
- Avoid disturbances and gatherings.
Please also take this moment to revisit our information on what to do in case of an emergency, as it may differ from the procedures at your home campus.
Ensure your DIS Navigate app notifications are on and that you have provided your phone number in DIS Student Registration.
