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.   

• Always secure doors and windows; do not prop them open.  
• Report any suspicious activity or unauthorized persons immediately. 
• Secure your belongings and don’t leave them unattended. 
• Don’t hold doors open for unknown people to let them enter private, secure areas.
