Crime Prevention
The Department of Public Safety regards the safety of the University community and the prevention of campus crime as a priority. The Department has many programs that strive to inform and educate all those who work, study and live at the College.
HELP STOP CRIME
To report a crime or any suspicious activity call the
Department of Public Safety at x5262, or access our Report a Crime web page.
THEFT
One of the major crimes on campus is theft. The Department of Public Safety is trying to prevent this crime by encouraging both students and staff to lock thier doors. If a member of the Department finds an open door he/she will leave a card which reads "If I had time to leave this note...a thief had time to steal your possessions."
OPERATION IDENTIFICATION
The Department has engravers available for public use to engrave names on valuables. If someone steals your stereo its much easier to claim it if your name is on it. Use it for stereos, cordless phones, tv's, vcr's and even your bike.
