Safety Reminders:
• Always be alert to your surroundings.
• Be aware of suspicious activity — and please don't hesitate to immediately alert the UC Santa Cruz Police Department of such activity. If you are ever in doubt, it is always better to ask authorities to investigate, rather than risking potential harm to you or someone else.
• Lock your valuables. Never leave your purse, wallet, keys, briefcase or backpack unattended — even if you’re only leaving it for “just a minute.”
• Personal property should be marked with a “personal distinguishing identification mark or number.” (e.g., last name, initials, etc.)
• Take personal responsibility. Put valuables away. Do not leave them visible.
• Close and lock office and residence doors and windows when you leave.
• Save any evidence. Do not remove any evidence until officers are able to respond and investigate.
