Simple precautions can reduce the likelihood that you will become the victim of a crime.

  • 保持警惕. Your safety depends mostly upon your own attitude and actions. Use common sense and do not place yourself in a location or situation to become a victim of crime.
  • IF YOU OBSERVE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY OR WISH TO REPORT ANY CRIMINAL ACT, CALL CAMPUS POLICE at 864-488-8344 或EXT. 8344 For police, fire or medical emergencies, you may call 911.
  • 如果你意识到犯罪, OBSERVE A SUSPICIOUS PERSON OR SITUATION OR ARE A VICTIM YOURSELF, 立即向校警报告. Timely reports increase the likelihood that critical evidence will be obtained, stolen property will be recovered and the offender will be successfully prosecuted. This is especially important in cases involving sex offenses. A prompt report to the police will also ensure that you are made aware of all available victim support services.
  • 避免在夜间独自行走. Make arrangements to walk in groups whenever possible.  If you must travel alone at night, stay on well-lit paths and sidewalks.
  • KEEP YOUR ROOM DOOR LOCKED AT ALL TIMES. 用钥匙锁门, 无论你住在哪里, is an effective way to reduce theft and enhance personal safety. The vast majority of thefts occur from unlocked rooms when the occupant is gone only briefly. Do not prop open exterior 门, and close any 门 you find propped open. Propped 门 are a high risk and greatly increase chances of your victimization. Do not open your door to someone you do not know.
  • DO NOT LEND YOUR KEY OR KEY CARD TO ANYONE. Your action could result in both you and/or an innocent victim being referred to the campus judicial system. Report a lost or stolen key to 校园警察 and to Residence Life staff immediately.
  • REPORT OBSCENE, ANNOYING, OR HARASSING PHONE CALLS OR E-MAIL MESSAGES IMMEDIATELY. 校园警察将调查, 随着模式的发展, they will work closely with the 信息技术 to apprehend offenders. 如果可能，请打印电子邮件.

  • IDENTIFY YOUR VALUABLES USING OPERATION ID. Engravers are available for students to use. Record their serial numbers on the provided form. Then be sure to keep your copy in a safe place.
  • PARK YOUR CAR IN WELL-LIT AREAS AND KEEP IT LOCKED. 把贵重物品锁在行李箱里. If you have expensive stereo equipment, etc.，考虑购买一个报警系统.
