In that spirit, all weapons are banned from the District. No District employee, customer, or visitor is allowed to carry weapons of any sort on District property or in a District vehicle. All employees are required to immediately report any sightings of weapons or violent behavior on the premises or at their work sites.

Therefore, employees must be aware of the need to always take safety and security precautions when performing their duties on private property.

Any violent behavior directed at District employees, either while they are conducting District business or related to the conduct of District business, should be immediately reported to the General Manager.
