Crime Prevention

Keep Your Room Door Locked

Lock you door whenever you leave your room, even if only for a short time to go to another room. Don't give out the combination to your room. Lock your door when you sleep.

Do Not Prop Open the Outside Doors

The Residence Halls are for the use of residents and their guests. Leaving the outside doors propped open allow uninvited people into the building. The outside doors are locked for a reason!

Report Suspicious People

Individuals who appear suspicious or behave suspiciously by lurking about outside Residence Halls or attempting to gain entry without a proper escort should immediately call the emergency line. Campus Safety Officers will arrive and identify the individual and, if needed, escort them from the campus.

Operation ID

Operation ID is a program designed to discourage theft of valuable property and provides a way for you to easily identify stolen property if necessary. Most thieves steal valuables for resale. So, if marked with a permanent identification number, thieves will find it harder to sell the valuables. If a criminal knows all your valuables are marked, he will look for easier and more profitable victims.

You may borrow an engraving tool from the Campus Safety office by displaying your student ID card and filling out a simple form. Once you have engraved an identification number on property such as laptops, bikes, cameras, etc. list the items on the Personal Property Record form Campus Safety will include with the engraver. You may wish to make an additional copy of your Personal Property Record to keep at your permanent address.

For additional information on Operation ID, contact the Campus Safety Office.
