Public Safety gives tips due to increase in thefts
Since
the beginning of this year an increase in the number of thefts of
credit cards, cash and personal items has been occurring on campus and
in the hospital.
The Department of Public Safety would like to remind faculty, staff and students to:
1. Secure your belongings when you are away from your office.
2. Lock up purses, wallets, laptop computers and other electronic
devices. If you are responsible for a state-issued credit card,
safeguard it as if it were your own.
3. Record the serial numbers of any electronic devices. Keep the list
in a safe, secure place. This includes state-issued devices that have
been assigned to you as well as your personal property.
4. Record your credit card numbers. If you have a state-issued credit card record this number as well.
5. Be alert for any unfamiliar people in your work space. This is
especially important if you work in an area that is not generally
visited by the public.
6. If you see a suspicious person or observe suspicious activity, report it to Public Safety at 792-4196 right away.
7. When reporting a suspicious person, it is important that you are
able to tell the dispatcher: where is the person; what is the person
doing; what does the person look like; what is the person wearing, and
if the person is still in the area.
