19. STEPS FOR SAFETY Know Your Environment Reduce Time You Spend Alone Plan What you Will Do if Confronted Look Out for Each Other Take Advantage of the many Safety & Security services offered by the University. Trust your instincts. They are a natural gift that tells you when something is wrong.

20. Safety Precautions Be aware that you are a potential victim of crime Stay alert and attuned to people and circumstances around you - electronic devices that block your hearing or split your attention make it difficult for you to remain vigilant. Note the locations of the Blue Light Emergency Phones and look for them as you walk. Report suspicious activity/people to the police immediately. Be aware of suspicious vehicles - Vehicles with their headlights off or that slow down near you may pose a potential threat. Move away from the vehicles, quickly move to a populated area and provide an accurate description of the vehicle to police. Avoid isolation. After dark, walk with others and use well-lit paths. Department of Public Safety escort services are available 24/7.

21. Safety Precautions (cont.) Do not carry your name, address or car license number on your key ring.

Do not take in overnight guests you don’t know. Do not prop open any building doors. Do not open doors to strangers. Do not allow unescorted visitors into residence halls or apartment buildings.
