MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE: Campus Safety / General Safety

By The Signal On Aug 31, 2021 42 0

Welcome back, Hawks.

Now that the semester is underway, I am sharing some safety tips to help make your UHCL experience great.

Protect your valuables – The most frequently reported and easily preventable crime on the UHCL campus is theft. These tips apply everywhere and anytime – not just UHCL.

Never leave property unattended, even to go to the restroom for a moment.
Hide any property left in your vehicle. When possible, leave valuables at home.
Lock and close your doors while refueling your vehicle.
Avoid using your cell phone in public so you can focus your full attention on your surroundings.
Carpool or walk to classes with friends. Plan shopping trips together, when possible.
Put your cash away immediately, when visiting the bank or ATM. Take your receipt in case of an ATM error.
Sign up with your bank and credit card companies to receive text alerts every time your card is used.
Try to park in well-lit, heavily travelled areas. Lock your car doors.
If you use a bicycle, use a high-quality, heavy duty U-lock rather than a cable lock to secure your bike.

Have a great semester; be safe; be well.

Russell Miller

Executive Director, Public Safety/Chief of Police
