Crime Prevention

Theft

Theft is the most frequently committed crime on campus. This is because so many personnel and students carelessly leave doors unlocked and valuables unprotected.

As with crimes against the person, your best defense against thieves is vigilance. Recognize that danger exists and take precautions.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Never leave personal belongings unattended--even for a minute.
• Keep your doors and windows locked.
• Don't keep large amounts of money in your room or on your person.
• Lock your bicycle with a quality "U" style lock.
• Register your bicycle with the Satellite City Hall.
• Don't give your keys or credit cards to anyone. Don't attach your ID to your keys.
• Engrave your ID numbers on your personal property.
• Keep a record of your property including description, make, model, and serial number.
• Don't leave your laundry unattended.
• Always lock your car. Do not leave valuables inside.

Please stop by the Security office to report any crimes or call 675-3503 or 675-3911. If you would like to report a crime directly to the Police, call 911.
