Two home invasions at off-campus residences on Church St. were reported to the Ann Arbor Police Department.  At approximately 7:30 a.m. on March 31, 2022, Ann Arbor police responded to a call regarding a home invasion at an off-campus residence on the 400 block of Church St. Around 8 a.m.. AAPD was then dispatched to another report of a home invasion on the 700 block of Church St. In the first incident, a resident was sleeping in the living room when they woke up to someone entering through the front door. When the suspect saw the resident, the suspect fled, and nothing was reported missing. In the second incident, the resident came out of the bathroom after taking a shower to see someone leaving the house through the backdoor. The resident then discovered cash missing from a wallet. In both incidents, entry was gained through an unlocked door.  The suspect is described as a Black male in his 30s, short in stature, with long dark curly hair, wearing a dark blue or green winter coat, hood up or baseball hat on, red and white (American flag) facemask, jeans, and black shoes.  If you have information, please contact the Ann Arbor Police Department Tip Line (734) 794-6939 or tips@a2gov.org. Regardless of whether you’re living on or off the University of Michigan campus, everyone should take a proactive approach to secure their residence. DPSS strongly encourages you to: - Keep your windows and doors locked  - Turn on exterior lights at night - Close blinds at night and keep doorwall security bars in place - Store valuables out of plain sight  - Do not prop open exterior doors - Do not hold open exterior doors for people you do not know  - Know who is at your front door before you open it  - When you take a vacation, put a temporary hold on your mail and other deliveries - Report any suspicious behavior or incidents

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
