Working together promotes awareness of the needs of one’s neighbors and fosters a sense of common purpose. The University is part of a larger, urban community where crime is a constant reality. Maintaining a safe and secure community must be a cooperative undertaking. Public Safety staff alone cannot resolve every breach of good security practice.

A partnership is required. Here’s what you can do:

• Attend at least one of the many personal safety seminars offered throughout the year and incorporate the ideas suggested into daily habits.
• Report hazards, keeping in mind the various means available to summon aid in an emergency.
• Pay attention to signs of possible risk and plan how to respond to these situations.
• Remember, you are responsible for the actions of those you invite to campus while they are here. You can help by informing them of the University’s policies, rules, regulations, and expectations for proper behavior.
