SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD

The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance.

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.
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.
