SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD  

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance.  

  • Communities are safest when members look out for each other: report any suspicious activity or unauthorized strangers immediately.  
  • Secure your belongings and don’t leave them unattended.
  • Make sure doors and windows are locked.
  • Don’t hold doors open for unknown people to let them enter private, secure areas.  
  • Be alert traveling to, from, and around campus – especially at night.
  • Carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed.
  • UO Portland security guards can walk students, faculty, and staff to their vehicles in the parking lot, and to nearby bus stops. Security can be reached at 503-412-3700. The UO Portland Security Office is located on the second floor of the UO Portland Campus Center.
  • Bystanders should try to be aware of their surroundings, and if there are signs of a person in distress, bystanders should make themselves known and offer assistance if it is safe to do so, and/or seek immediate help from police or security personnel.
  • Report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to UOPD Portland at 503-412-3700.
