CRIME PREVENTION TIPS

Here are a few hints that may assist you in developing a greater sense of safety and security on and off campus.

ON AND AROUND THE CAMPUS STREETS:

Attempt to travel in groups during dark hours.

Ring the door bell upon arrival at your home and have your keys in your hand.

Do not enter an elevator with a stranger of any age.

Know the location of the public telephones in your area.

Be aware of doormen, guards, restaurants or grocery stores in your neighborhood. Know where you can find them as they may provide you with refuge in an emergency.

Remain alert while walking; observe your surroundings. Don't look like a victim!

IF YOUR SUSPICIONS ARE AROUSED, DO THE FOLLOWING:

Dial 911 on a public telephone or 7777 from a college telephone or press the call button on a College emergency call box. These calls do not require any money.

If no telephone is available, enter a store or ring the door bell of a residence for assistance.

Be aware of confidence games which offer you large sums of money for little effort on your part. You get nothing for nothing.

Do not carry large sums of money, conspicuous jewelry or other valuables.

Do not dangle purses at arms length. Hold them close to your chest.

If you hears cries for help, call 911. You may help someone in trouble.

THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME - CHECK BACK SOON!
