Safety Tips

• Stay aware of your surroundings & keep alert to the activity around you.
• Look confident and keep your head up. Walk with a purpose. Make eye contact with people you pass by.
• Walk with a friend or travel in groups whenever possible.
• Avoid carrying large sums of money or too many credit cards.
• Walk along well lighted, more frequently used pathways.
• Note the locations of safe havens in your travels to which you can go (stores, restaurants, offices and the like).
• Have keys (or ID card) ready when approaching your residence or car.
• Personal safety escorts are available from Security by calling x53333, or use one of the many Blue Light Emergency Phones located throughout campus.
• When shopping, don't burden yourself with excess packages. Watch for strangers loitering in parking lots. Store purchases out of sight in vehicles. At night, park in well lighted areas.
• Lock your room or office every time you leave, even if for "just a minute."
• Don't leave personal belongings unattended.
• Don't let a stranger into your residence hall or apartment building.
• Remember to buckle up while driving, and please, don't drink and drive.
• IMMEDIATELY notify Security if you see any suspicious activity, or anything else that appears to be unusual or out of place. Dial 13 from any University phone or pick up a Blue Light Emergency Phone.
• When elsewhere in the Rochester area, call the police at 911.
