Safety Tips

• Always be alert and aware of your surroundings and show a confident attitude.

• All suspicious activity should be reported to the University of Delaware Police (831-2222) on campus and the Newark Police (366-7111) off campus. Timely reports of information make it easier for the police to gather critical evidence and increase the odds of recovering stolen property and successfully prosecuting a criminal.

• Avoid walking alone at night - walk with a group, take a University shuttle bus, or call Public Safety for an escort - if you must walk alone please make sure to use well lighted paths and sidewalks and take the most direct route.

• Keep your doors locked (room and vehicle). do not prop open residence doors - this is an invitation for trespassers.

• Do not lend your keys, ID card, or PDI card to anyone - even your friends - not everyone will take the same care as you would.

• Report all maintenance problems (broken locks, windows, etc.) to Housing immediately.

• Attend Security Awareness programs held on campus for valuable information and safety tips.

• Identify your valuables - register your computer, bicycle, stereo,etc. with Public Safety.

• Use crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals to safely cross streets.

• Be aware of campus and local crime trends. You are your best protection educate yourself.

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please email Public Safety.
